Just call me the Grinch or Ebenezer Scrooge of Halloween. Halloween, how do I dislike thee, let me count the ways:
1. The costume. Even as a child, I disliked wearing a costume. Maybe because we were poor and the only costume I ever had was a "bum" or "hobo". Now, I don't believe that "bum" is a politically correct term. The homeless might be offended by this. Dogs don't really like Halloween either. Would you like this particular form of humiliation?
2. The begging. Yet another hit to the homeless. Isn't Halloween really just legalized begging? I mean, you knock on doors, you hold your hand out saying "Trick or Treat". The homeowner then gives you a piece of candy and you skip off to the next house on the block! Of course, that could be a bit of a challenge this year.
3. The waste. Were we not taught to NOT play with our food?
I know I am in the minority here, so to all of you Halloween zealots, (and you know who you are) Happy Halloween, I'll be watching Hocus Pocus. Bette Midler is a hoot and half;)

I think that Michael would love you as his mother. He hates wearing his costume, I have to bribe him just to look at it, don't even think about putting his hood up though or you are in for a major tantrum. He is a lion this year, and I think it is super cute, but like I said, I think he would like you much better then me right now.
I hate Halloween too!!! The only thing I like is dressing up my kids and taking pictures! The rest I only do for my kids sake.
Everything was interesting and funny until I got the the pumpkin. Grossssssssssssssss! Happy Halloween.
Sounds like someone needs some Halloween cheer. ;)
I don't really know why I like Halloween so much. I love it all though. I wish I was having another party this year. Last years was a blast! I will remember your humbug as I raid my kids' candy! heehee!
