Halloween is hands down my favorite of the widely celebrated holidays. It's one of the few that isn't part of the dominant religion's or dominant government's list of holidays that we must celebrate. And it has managed to retain a huge pagan feel.
It also acts as a great warm-up holiday. The harvest themes of Halloween flow well into Thanksgiving, needing no change in colors, just a little in iconography. By the time X-Mass roles around, you surrender to the garish decorations having recently partaken in two holidays with decorations that didn't bug the shit out of you.
And it's the only day of the year that a legal adult can wander the streets while wearing a mask and not get an immediate Dept. of Homeland Panic smack down.
