I don’t like Hallowe’en either. PTSD and people unexpectedly knocking on your door at night do not a happy combination make.
I never got to celebrate it as a kid so I’ve never had a reason to like it- buuut I feel “meh” at best with all holidays, sooo…
The last time i dressed up i bought a vinyl sticker letter “L” and stuck it on my forehead. My response when people commented on my lack of a costume was “yeah, i’m a loser.”
The best minimalist costume I’ve seen (& thought about doing myself):
A gal at the PT office had “BOOK” carefully written on her face. My daughter is all about abstruse costumes: she’s gone as Fear (phobias written on white clothing), a Monday (a small cloud ‘raining’ on her head), Autumn (a garland of Leaves worn as a shawl), and most recently, a Formal Apology (tux jacket with “I’m sorry” taped on the shirt front underneath).

Oh jeez, that’s gotta be rough. I’m sorry, man.
To be honest it’s not all that bad, Hallowe’en in the UK is nowhere near as big of a thing as it is in the US- and apparently Canada I guess?
So how does this go over as a dad? I am also not big on dressing up personally, ever since I was a kid and the pressure was on at school.
It’s Margot’s first trick-or-treating this year, so we’ll see how that goes!
A friend suggested I dress as Bartleby the scrivener for Halloween, but I would prefer not to.
