		<description>I dislike Halloween as well, for all of the same reasons.  Glad to know I&#039;m not alone.

		<description>Are you Miserable Guy this year?  No trip to Target required.  You need to get over yourself and examine what&#039;s REALLY making you miserable before you start kicking puppies and chastising store clerks.  Happiness is an act of will.

Why not embrace festivities?  If people want to make merry and celebrate ANYTHING, more power to them.</description>

		<description>I am totally with you. Except I just hate it for no particular reason other than that I don&#039;t have the time and don&#039;t appreciate the pressure to put together an awesome costume and &quot;have a good time.&quot;</description>

		<description>I&#039;ll make an exception for adults who dress up to the representative from La Center, and allow him to dress up in lingerie, lube, and guilt to his heart&#039;s content.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t have any problems with adults dressing up. Heaven knows between my SCA friends and my wife&#039;s love of Napoleonic historical reenactors I&#039;d have a mob wielding crossbows and Baker rifles on my doorstep.

It&#039;s the Halloween part that annoys me.

And, you know, pumpkins were around a long time before Halloween. They made great gelato.</description>

		<description>As for me, I don&#039;t happen to attend any drunken events or even Halloween parties for that matter.  The kind of parties that I hear about here in the city are different than those thrown out in more &quot;burbs&quot; where it is a child-friendly environment.

My husband and I DO however, belong to a costumed historical events group that dresses in costumes for various time periods (no, it&#039;s not all women either!) and the parties/events are a hoot!!!  Hop out to my website and take a look.  If any of you are interested, download the PDF and sign up...

Happy Halloween~
