Halloween was never my thing even as a kid. I didn't then, and don't now, like candy. I managed to attain my current immense size without any help from the sugary stuff.

While Halloween isn't a big deal for me, I certainly don't begrudge the kids dressing up & having a good time.

Unfortunately in the adult world Halloween has become an excuse to drink and act out making it the most unsafe holiday on the roads next to New Year's. Most hospital ERs are crammed on Halloween night with the messes caused by over-the-top adults out for a big party. Actually in the hospital my wife works in, it is far WORSE than New Year's. That's very sad.
