*snickers* Well, I don't think I can really blame UK kiddies for finding appeal in the concept of dressing up and getting free candy. But I take your point.
There are a few things that kind of make Halloween a "meh" holiday for me, and a large part of it is weather-related. It's still so warm down here, and for me, Halloween was the epitome of autumn. So it's hard to get into the right frame of mind. The same thing goes for Christmas, actually. It's very hard to get into that mindset when it's eighty degrees out. (Actually, and maybe it's a result of having read "A Christmas Carol" too many times, but I would love to someday spend Christmas in England.)
