I dislike Halloween. Basically, I dislike October even though it is my birth month. It is not a happy time for me and "celebrations" seem odd, but that's because of my life experiences. More of my family (inlcuding son, grandfather, grandmother, MIL, and more) have died in that month than any other. My DIL and SIL love the "celebration" and I let them have fun with it. It's great fun for young ones, and we did go with our kids when they went trick-or-treating.
