You bring up a great point about giving and community whether it be in the office or your neighborhood. I was just remarking to my wife last night after returning from an hours Trick-or-Treating with my daughter and her friends that there was no holiday like Halloween. We walked streets in our neighborhood that I am more accustomed to seeing in the twilight of a pre-morning run and greeted countless "neighbors" out and about or camping out by a fire. Candy may be the uniting substance, but I think it's just the excuse to do away with the formalities and "allow" us to interact with each other on the fly. Thanks for the insight and food for thought Aaron. Throw some Reeses in that candy jar!

Much harder to do when looking at multiple situations. I know the post is not directly related to search, but think about the impact that search must have on consumer spending of $4.75 billion for a holiday that spans only 30 days tops (prep and celebration). Hmmmm. It is easy to see how life relates to individual situations when you stop and look at them. Much harder to do when looking at multiple situations.

I know it's not related to search but by far, one of my favorite posts on SearchFuel. If you look at it one way, life could be Halloween every day...and I think we all need Candy jars on our desks to keep things all in perspective! (BTW...$4.75 billion? Apparently we're all investing in the wrong things and should be investing in Holidays!) Interesting perspective on Halloween and life!
