I love fall, but I don't love Halloween

I think we all know that I loooooove fall.  I love the sights, the sounds, the smells.  I love the temps...I love fall.  I would say I love everything about fall, except...

I do NOT love Halloween.  In fact, I don't even like Halloween.  I very much dislike Halloween.  I don't like to decorate for Halloween, and I don't particularly enjoy the evening of the trick-or-treating.  Even when my kids were little and I could experience the holiday through their eyes, I didn't like it.  I felt it was more of a drag to have to come up with a costume.  Having a costume party?  There is a good chance I won't show up, and if I do, it will most likely be without a costume.  I am definitely the Bah Humbug of the holiday.

But everything else about the fall...oh, I am all in!  Yesterday Andrew and I even took a very long way home from our lunch plans so that we could see the sights.  Between visiting with our friends and enjoying the drive home, it was truly a lovely afternoon.
