LOL I feel like scrooge when it comes to Halloween, it's not like I don't like the holiday, it's more about how much I dread costumes and how much people expect you to put into it. I like being creative, I like sewing, I like decorating, but I am not fond of doing it for Halloween, if others want to that is great, but if you don't get a cool costume, I feel you get left out. My friend down the street has been having a kick ass party for the last three years that I would not want to miss, but everyone goes in a cool costume which I hate finding, plus I have to find one for my dh as well. This year she is on a trip out of the country, and when I found out there would be no party I was elated, only because of the dreaded costume search. I have a lot of NYC doggie friends and I have seen on facebook most of them have been to three or four parties over the last week, all in elaborate costumes for both the owners and their pups. Strollers have been decorated, the pups are wearing wigs and costumes weighing more then they do, the owners are dressed to match their pups, to me it's so overwhelming and I bet not that much fun for the pups.

Anyway just wondering if anyone else felt like me and dreaded the whole costume pressure thing
