Man, we should start a club.

I feel like the 10% of people who LOVE Halloween make it miserable for everyone else. It is so much forced fun, if you have young kids. Pretty much every other holiday, I feel like it's possible to pick and choose what works for your family. Because Halloween gets shoehorned into a weekday most of the time, and happens in your neighborhood and involves this reciprocal arrangement with trick or treating, it feels much harder to opt out. I do it for the kids but loathe it.

Hopefully in a few years, my kids will either want to go out with their friends on their own, or just stay home and give out candy to little kids, and then I can check out on it.[/quote]

You loathe the one single day of ToT for your kids?

As you point out, it's easy enough to opt out of most esle.[/quote]

+1. People here seem very high strung about Trick or Treating. Your kid picks a costume, you buy a costume, you follow them around for a few hours OR you send your spouse out to follow them around. I can't imagine what drama is going on to make people loathe it.[/quote]

Part of it is that our schools consider Halloween and November 1 to be holidays, which is just another struggle for daycare camps. These used to be fun days at school.[/quote]
