I do worry about Halloween. We've pretty much decided we won't participate this year. Just the school party. If it's overreaction, no big deal. Remember, they keep warning us that something big might happen. And Halloween is coming. Chances are nothing will happen, but as far as I'm concerned why take any chances?

I know what you mean. We decided weeks ago that we weren't going to do it this year. It just didn't seem "appropriate" to be celebrating Halloween this year. After the anthrax scares started happening, there was more reason not to participate.

I feel the same way. Not in the mood for Halloween this year.
