Yay!! Halloween!!!!
I see it as a time for fun and I don't really read much further into it than that. Like Naomi, I'm diabetic and can't have candy anymore so its a little depressing. But I do still love the holiday. I love kids and I love to see them having fun - under parental supervision! I love the feel of any holiday because just about everyone is in a good mood.
Just because Halloween brings out the worst in a small amount of people isn't a reason to hate the whole holiday. Christmas also brings out the worst in some people (robberies ... think Home Alone :p ) but that isn't a reason to hate Christmas.
I'm not going to dress up, but my dogs will be wearing costumes to pass out candy to the kids. And no, that is NOT torture!!!! When they get sick of their costumes, they take them off themselves.
