I am a Halloween Scrooge. I don't understand it. I don't like it. I detest having my afternoon interrupted by children looking for treats I know their parents will dole out in small doses, throwing most of it away before Christmas.
I disliked it as a child. I think dressing up in costumes is stupid. I think the whole thing is a contrivance, one I would prefer we did away with.
"Halloween! Bah! Humbug! If I could work my will, every idiot who went around with 'Happy Halloween' on his lips should be boiled in his own hot cider! And buried with a pumpkin stem through his heart. He should!"
