I love halloween, it's one of my favorite holidays. Perhaps the only holiday that involves a community coming together by handing out candy to the kids (and sometimes adults hehe).

(I say this is b/c Christmas is good but often followed by stress or a reminder of what we can't afford for those sweet little kids..)
