The Halloween season has just passed and the “scary” items are disappearing from the shelves replaced by fall, Thanksgiving and even Christmas decorations. Stores have put the jack-o-lanterns, skeletons and ghoulish attire on clearance shelves in hopes of hastening their way out of the stores. The season of “scare” in retail is gone for another year, and I am pretty happy with that. It is not my favorite time of the year. Fear is not my favorite emotion.
