I like Halloween, too. I love an excuse to dress up and step out of my day-to-day self for a change! Not this year, though -- too busy.
Don't miss the trick-or-treaters much. The little kids are adorable, but I'm not big on passing out candy to 16-year-olds. Go to a party, for fuck's sake.
But I can't complain any longer... haven't had a trick-or-treater in 9 years. I keep a crisp $20 for the first intrepid kid who walks around my gate, traverses the llloooonnnnnggggg dark-as-midnight, heavily wooded gravel driveway over 2 creeks, defies the dogs and the other security measures to trick-or-treat at my door. He or she deserves more than a miserly piece of candy.
I'm thinking of upping it to a $50 this year.
