Halloween: How do you feel about it?

Sure, Christmas gets all the glory. And Christmas is very captivating and enthralling, I admit. But Halloween is so unique and creative and exciting.

Halloween is a WONDERFUL holiday. I feel bad for the kids of fundamentalist religious people who don't allow them to enjoy the holiday. It's such a magical time. Yes, it's dark, that's the point. It's a special holiday about something fundamental in humankind - fear. Halloween isn't about evil (well, for some people it is) but about us as human beings dealing with that shadowy, mysterious and creepy side of life. Even the most bright and cheeful life surely gets the occasional nightmare, the occasional chill up their spine in the dark. Halloween is just playing with that sort of thing, and it's awesome fun.
