For 5 years straight, I've had to work on Halloween night, and I'm not happy - this year included. Normally, I wouldn't have even had to come in on Haloween, but this year they had something special planned and they HAD to pull me in.
Anyway, normally, I'd dress up in a wraith costume or something, wouldn't do anything too major. I remember doing the pumpkin carving thing as a kid, and trick or treating, but never did it after age 11 because as soon as I hit middle school my grades started plummeting, and parent-teacher conferences were always RIGHT before Halloween - so the teacher could tell my parents how messed up my grades were and I'd be grounded. Then when I started improving, I was too old for it anyway.
