I used to love Christmas but it seems just hard work now. We rarely have the dinner on Xmas day as my daughter works it sometimes and family illness makes it difficult. Think I prefer Halloween, kids in costumes and the effort they put in make me smile |

Yeah I don't really use costumes! Just a black t-shirt and loads of face paint... I'm pretty good at theatrical (spelling might be wrong) makeup |

We have no choice but to embrace Halloween as we have a 5 and 7 year-old. Person all I think It is another American commercial tactic that we now have to endure. Nobody went trick or treating when we were kids but now it is expected. I blame wal-marts ownership of Asda for it. |

Oh the annual beg on the door for sweets, my kids did it for the first time in 9 years last year and had more sugar in one bag than the Tate and lyle factory ever had in one year! |

"does anyone like this more than Christmas or is it just me   
I must say I rarely get really into Halloween or Christmas for that matter...must be because I don't have kids I reckon...bar humbug!!  "
Ha yup |

Chrimbo, just!
Christmas stuff is in the shops for a quarter of a year, whereas Halloween stuff is in the shops for only about an eighth or ninth of the year, so Christmas obviously wins!  |
