I used to love Halloween, but anymore it's become yet another beloved holiday spoiled by competitions, what outfits and decorations are "in" this year, out-and-out commercialism, ad nauseum.

I definitely hear what you're saying here, Pachacutec, though I have to say now that I have small children the holiday has become much more fun again. My kids are ones that love to play dress up on a daily basis anyways and they get a huge kick out of seeing everyone one else in the neighborhood dressed up as well.

My primary goal of forming this group, is to give all of us sufferers a feeling of belonging. SoRead More many people feel like they have no where, and no one to turn to, and I want to be that person and provide a group that can offer a pick-me-up throughout the day, or something to look forward to mid-week. So far, I have had 3 people reach out to me which is wonderful, however, I would like to have at least 5 people for our first meeting. I look forward to hearing from YOU soon! ~Cheers, Brittany
