Halloween has never been a big deal to me. Growing up, you just went ToTing the one time, and that was it.
Now that there are multiple Halloween events that my kids want to attend before actual Halloween, I feel more justified in buying them nice costumes. I don't like scary things (and neither do my kids) so it's just the going around costumed to get candy that we participate in every year.
I bought an $8 teeshirt + headband combo (Queen Bee) from Walmart that I am going to wear to work that day (and we have a staff meeting that morning so I'm twisting everyone's arms into wearing something, too!) and when I go out ToTing with the kids.
I would love to be invited to an adult Halloween party someday but I'll probably survive if I never attend one, either.
