Writer's Block: The witching hour

Okay, these are the ways I can think of to "celebrate" Halloween:
a) trick-or-treating
b) going to Halloween parties
c) throwing one's own Halloween parties
I've long since outgrown A; B I do plenty of and C I don't do at all, but that's only because I generally go to parties when my friends decide to throw them, no matter what the occasion, and don't generally host my own, no matter what the occasion.
So does it count as "celebrating" Halloween if I go to a Halloween party just because it's a party? Does it make a difference if I dress up?
As for what to like and not like: I like seeing people's creative costume ideas even though I'm crap at coming up with any myself. If I disliked anything about the holiday I suppose it would be the vandalism, but since I've never actually experienced any of that myself, it remains a dislike in potentia.
