Sorry to skew the stats. I was married on Halloween, and always considered it a celebration of souls, not a scary thing at all. I get just as tired of the whole spooky treatment of death as I do about the glamorization of vampires, and the fear of skeletons. (Yes, bones to me are beautiful things, without them we'd be piles of goop.)

Jack-o-lantern for me, too.
