Abstract
In our family, we've always tried to focus on the fun, lighthearted aspects of Halloween. Imagine Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin (which always makes me cry a little), or Winnie the Pooh going trick-or-treating with Piglet. Our Halloweens have always been filled with candy treats, cute costumes, apple-bobbing, pumpkin carving, etc. (And occasionally, my wife convinces me to allow our three daughters to join in.) Besides, at my age, I considered myself beyond being scared by "things that go bump in the night" - unless it's our dog nocturnally dispensing Tootsie-Rolls on the living room carpet.
