I don't understand the logic or the appeal of Halloween: to me, it all seems rather pointless and silly.
Yes its shocking how every year Halloween gets so much bigger here, noticed this year the stores have even delayed putting the Christmas stuff out to have big halloween displays, quite nice to delay that, but I don't like halloween either and my children have never been allowed to dress up or take part. They went to a church school who would usually have what they called a "light"party so they could go there if they wanted to.
