    I have noticed in my local stores in the greeting card section that there is actually cards that you can send to your friends and families for halloween. Don't get me wrong, I love halloween! We decorate every year, kids love our house. We will give out full size chocolate bars this year ( thanks to SDM, lol ), but sending a card for $ 3.99+up..really???? Or am I just to frugal?!

    I guess that it is a bit useless to give to friends or family, but for people that live far away from each other is understandable since they want to wish them a happy halloween.

    I just picked one up today to send to someone on SC with a trade, I think it's a cute personal touch.

    These cards are catered to grandparents. Grandparents send cards for every useless occasion a card company makes a card for. Happy Pagan dead-people-honoring day! LUV GRAMMA.

    It's a money grab because old people love spending $50 on cards to send to kids. Sending one for a buck, maybe, but most people go for the sparkly $5+ cards.

    +1 for putting an apostrophe in Hallowe'en... this is how I was taught to spell it, too!

    I can see doing Hallowe'en cards as a children's craft idea for a rainy day in October, but not as something to go out and buy. We used to do crafts like that as kids, making birthday and seasonal greeting cards with construction paper and coloured pencils on crappy days so that we were entertained without making too big of a mess

    I don't buy them but I make them. We don't have kids but have 7 kid neighbours that we do extra stuff for at Hallowe'en so I make them a card and a gift bag.

    I've seen them for years now, and see why people would want to send them across the miles...

    Yes, I spell it Hallowe'en, too!

    LOL, but some of us non-pagans celebrate it as the Eve of All Saints' Day, which is Nov. 1.
    'hallow' means to make holy
