All Hallows' Eve

I won Most Beautiful Costume at my office Halloween party! I was a genie with sparkly jewelry, scarves, etc.

A lot of people have mentioned to me lately that Halloween is their favorite holiday. It seems to have pretty near-universal appeal - kids get to have candy and stay out late, adults get an excuse to wear sexy/silly outfits. I love the autumn flavor, plus it's got all the cool pagan connotations that annoy conservative religious groups. But there's a dark side to Halloween that I just don't like. I know, that's the point. It's edgy. But some people take it too far. I am always nervous, worrying about what awful pranks I'm going to hear about the next day, and always a little relieved when it's over.
