In my family we had scare genes I think.  We all liked to play pranks on each other at any opportunity, especially my Mom's side of the family.  I got in a few whacks myself.  It was very satisfying to generate a loud screech in the selected victim.

I get tired of the throngs that come begging, Shelly,
although the little kids do crack me up.

Halloween is my least favorite holiday..

I think it has to do with not really getting into it as a kid.  We didn't have many kids in the neighborhood so there was never beggars night.  I only participated in the school parties.

Happy New Year to ya!

Strat, Thanks for making me feel alot better than I was 5 minutes ago. As
my good Army buddy  said to me once in one of his many visits to the local Emergency room "Will, if you mean to scare somebody with a rubber mask, make sure it isn't a redneck bar. Them boys carry guns." lol Same way as scaring kids carrying shovels IR Will Happy New Year, Strat.
