I like Halloween But i choose only some parts to celibrate...Trick or treating etc. I think that if you stick my your own traditions with it it's ok...We dont do haunted houses ...but the old mine in town has a great haunted house that is not a bloody mess, and is alittle spooky, We had on sunday night this year Halloween bingo, we used it as family night, Gran dma and the kids friends came, It was alot of fun, and we got the prizes at the dollar store,...I really think it is how you partisipate in the holiday
