I hated halloween as a JW youth. All my freinds had so much fun and candy that seemed to last a lifetime. Meanwhile I was reduced to go to the meeting in a collar and tie. If it fell on a non meeting night I could sit in a dark room with out any lite on and look out the window at the drones of children in costumes having fun and collecting sweets. It was torture.
As an adult I have fun taking my children. I also have a blast carving pumpkins, Im damn good at it too. But my wife always takes over in planning the kids costumes and kind of leaves me in the back seat. So I suppose I still have some halloween issures.
