Boo!

Did I scare you?! It's Halloween, even though it's snowing here in Chicago and it looks and feels more like Christmas today. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups were recently named the most popular candy, but I wondered how could that be with all those nut allergies out there? Do people really still buy them? Are they even allowed anymore? If you can believe it, candy corn is still ranked number eight of favorite candies. I wonder what President Joe Biden passes out at the White House?

I'll leave you with a kindness tip for tonight's festivities: if you see an adult leading kids door to door in the cold, I'm sure they'd appreciate an offer of a treat or two, too.

Oh, and when you get home tonight, it's never too early to start preparing for year end holidays. You can even let us know about it here and have a chance to win a $100 Visa gift card, which can go towards holiday expenses. It may come in handy since the cooling labor market is making it harder to win bigger pay.
