Halloween is my least favorite holiday. I'm not sure what it is about it.
Actually, I know exactly what it is about it. I used to like Halloween because I loved free candy. In college, Halloween was just one of 365 reasons to drink and go to parties. Now that I have grown from that (unfortunate, yes, but it has happened), I am disgusted by the amount of gore.
When a sugar-filled, greedy little crapper walks to my doorstep, pushes a button and blood start gushing down their face, I just can't help but feel a need to slap the parents across the forehead. I'm not an overly sensative guy, but the idea of death being glorified is very bothersome. You go to the store and it used to just be some skeletons and bats but now it is life-like heads impaled on pitch forks. It's sick!
I appreciate the adorable little princess that come across once in awhile, but overall, I just can't justify this holiday. I had pumpkins on our porch and a week later they are smashed in the street. The sad part is, it's expected at this time of year.
Soon I may have children. And when I do, my little craphead will get the candy and then I'll eat it.

Sean - You are totally right. Last night, I had two grown-ass adults come trick-or-treating! It's ridiculous. I also had some high school kid ask if he could 'have a lot' and proceed to put his hand in my bowl of treats! I smacked it away. What brats! I did have the occasional cute kid who was appreciative of the candy I gave them, but overall there has definitely been a change since I was dressed up as Peter Pan saying 'trick-or-treat' and 'thank you'. However, now that Halloween is over it's time to plan for Christmas! Oh, and Thanksgiving. But I can officially listen to The Chipmunks and Sinatra's holiday tunes and not feel like the 'crazy christmas lady'. :)
Sorry, Shawn. My bad.
It's okay LEE ;)
