I like it ok. Today I took my mom to the oncologist's office and this couple walked into the waiting room, glanced around for candy. When they realized none was to be had, they started to loudly complain: "Why is there no candy? Can you believe it? It's Halloween and they're being cruel!"

Yeah, grown ups complaining about the lack of candy. This is when I start to hate it too.

I don't particularly love the get-ups these days, or the fact that you just need to show up at the door to receive candy. In Scotland when I was a child, kids had to recite a poem or do a little show in order to earn their apple, orange or piece of chocolate - it wasn't enough to come in costume!


Neato. Did they do Guy Fawkes up there too or was that contained to England?

Yup. The decorations give me the heebie jeebies, the costumes are mostly bland, and the kids are largely rude. I LOVE most holidays, but could happily do without halloween.

I do enjoy carving pumpkins though

I never really got into it, then it was fun when the kids were first born, but with each year, I'm losing interest.

I'm with you, OP. Hated it pre-kid, still hate it.

I'm pretty neutral about it -- I'm glad DD enjoys it and that's most of the fun for me.

I love it! It’s a choice, OP. Life is too short to waste time being unhappy over a fun holiday.

Hate it. People coming to the door and setting my dog barking every five minutes...

Halloween is OK. Hate trick or treaters.

My kids love it, but I can’t stand it. All of the super creepy decor that makes my kid scared and have nightmares. All the parents dressing up like they are 10 years old. I just cant wait until it’s over. Anyone else?
