Unfortunately, yes.  I've never participated in Halloween, not even as a
kid.  My mom would make me hand out candy, but it was just never
something I got into.  So, I kept my house dark and ignored the little
brats.

However, wouldn't you know the moment I had to flick on the kitchen
light for something, someone's banging on my door.  Gah.  What a
pointless holiday.  Samhain, I can get into, even if it's not my
religion.  As a Lutheran, Reformation Day means a lot fo me.  But this
Halloween crap is just nonsense.
