Halloween

1. Do you like Halloween? Why/why not?

I like seeing all the little kids in costume, and I like the excitement. I don't mind doing the pumpkin thing, either.

2. What did you do for Halloween as a kid?

I dressed up, of course. We always had a Halloween party (sigh...no more, thanks to the fucking assholes that have to mess up life for kids out of misguided righteousness) and we all would parade around the playground to show off our costumes to the whole school. It was great! I trick-or-treated every year till about 7th grade...the last couple of years it was Trick-Or-Treat-for-UNICEF.

3. What's your favorite part of any holiday? Why?

That is such a hard question. I like traditions and rituals. I like the chance to slow down and get out of the daily routine and do something different. I like being able to look back at all of the past holidays and remember them (the good parts).

Bonus Question: What Halloween activities are you participating in this year?

Just the pumpking carving and candy dumping. Beast won't be home, so it'll just be Sparky and me this year handing out candy. I think, actually, that was true last year as well.
