Over the years, I have lost my childhood love for Halloween. I still like the candy, though!

Halloween has become the second most commercialized holiday behind Christmas. What is so cool about such things as death, graveyards, skeletins (face it , we're talking human remains here), monsters that smile and are happy, ghosts that seem happy to be dead, witches (had dates with a few who could be), and how wonderful and fun it is to be scared?

I don't see why it is fun to be frightened. If you have ever been in a seriously frightening situation, you understand what I mean.

Why do we "celebrate" this absolute morbid stuff?
