The majority doesn't do trick or treating for halloween either, though as US movies are getting more and more influential there's some families that have started to do that.
The family gathering sounds like fun though. As long as it's a rather small group... (our Family is a bit too large... Both my parents are from extensive families so it gets to be too busy and stressful to gather everyone)
The attractions sound scary, but maybe fun if there's someone with you... I probably wouldn't be able to enjoy them all that much though... I'm no good with scary stuff and one of the scariest things for me is being somewhere unfamiliar, alone in the dark when there's a possibility that my occasional night-blindness can act up again... It's very scary to me to suddenly not be able to see anything any more when I love looking at the night sky...
Off to bed now as it's about 2 am and I have class in the morning...
G'night!!!!
