Halloween was definitely my favorite holiday as a kid. I lived in a very small neighborhood next to a major state road with many houses on it, but my father was paranoid about me going on it, so I was stuck in my neighborhood and relative's houses. I outgrew it around 12, I think. Then, a few years later my friend convinced me to go out with the "older" kids, which was cool, then I did the teenage halloween get together deals and haunted houses, followed by trick-or-treating with my girlfriend/fiance at the time. Now, my wife usually takes the kids while I stay home and hand out candy. We just moved from an almost zero kid neighborhood to one that we hear can produce about 200-250 kids per Halloween, so we need to get ready.
A big part of my affinity for it, I think is that I come live in the American North East, and that time of year is the best time of year for us, with the beautiful Autumn colors, cool breezes (but not too cool), and knowledge that the family holidays are right around the corner.
