What do you do to celebrate Halloween?

I'm looking forward to dressing Nathan up this year. I think he's going to be Batman, we haven't gotten his costume yet though. Since he's too young to go trick-or-treating we'll just dress him up for fun and pictures.

We hand out candy - I usually dress up a little - have a mask or some sort of costume, nothing too elaborate. And we have had changes in the neighborhood dmographics, so will probably have lots more trick-or-treaters this year, just very young ones!

I love Halloween! :D Growing up we always dressed up and went trick-or-treating. It was so much fun with the dry wind, tumbleweeds, and everyone getting into the mood with haunted houses and great costumes, and candy of course.

Now we just decorate the front of the house with a smoke machine and strobe lights, and then wait for all of the kids to come around.

The weekend before is the annual Halloween desert trip with a lot of night riding, music, and good friends camped out in the dunes.

I used to go trick or treating when I was younger at my grandparents. I loved it, just because I got to visit them, didn't really care about the candy. :p

We live in the boones so we don't get any treaters, which if fine. Zoey would get very spooked by the treaters.

I'm being Tonks. I already have my hair dye and parts of my costume. I'm going all out and actually hand making my costume this year. It'll be a mix of movie!Tonks and book!Tonks. :)
Of course I'm wearing the full costume to school. Only about half the kids in our school dress up but this is my senior year so there's no way I won't. Halloween is one of my favorite days of the year. It's an excuse for cosplay since all of the good conventions are far away from me. ;) :p

My little cousin has asked my to go trick or treating with him so I guess I'll be there. Our house usually gets about 2 kids that aren't our neighbors who are over at our house almost every day anyway.

I prepare by turning all the lights out and sitting in the dark till the doorbell stops ringing. :p

I LOVE Halloween it's absolutely my favorite Holiday ever. We always go to haunted houses(real and fake) along with anything else we can find. A tradition is to visit Posey Chapel and this year we're going to go to Amish Acres(which isn't far from us at all) instead of the pumpkin patch.

Get dressed up, go trick or treating with my friends. The best part is getting my grandmom's cat in a devil costume.

Hallowe'en is often looked down on over here as an unnecessary import, but I personally believe it to be a benefit to kids everywhere. I certainly remember loving dressing up and then eating all my sweets afterwards when I was between 3 and 10 years of age. Of course I don't go any more, but I expect my younger brother will be doing so this year.


According to the UK news, trick-or-treaters are rising in number each year, but I think its popularity is decreasing certainly where I live. I recall having a knock at the door every minute of so a few years ago, now we're lucky if we get one an hour. Maybe we've run out of kids? :p

We don't do much for Hallowe'en, really, just a pumpkin outside the door for us. We used to have a Canadian family living nearby who dug up their entire front lawn and turned it into a graveyard! And also another neighbour, who happened to be a policeman, dressed up as a robber.

The last few years on Samhain I've gone to parties with my boyfriend and his brothers. They're always just so-so, so I'm hoping something better comes along this year.

Jasper's not much for dress-up, but he DOES have an adorable set of bat-wings which he'll let me put on him. :D

Oh, I intend on knitting or sewing a costume for Niño. :) I'm thinking of decking him in a suit of armour. (because I can't have my own armoured team of neapolitans pulling a jewel encrusted cart) :p :D

We usually take the kids around town Trick or treating, we cant go in our neighborhood, as it is thecountry side, and most people arent around, as they ave gone to town as well. After trick or treating, we go to our church, and have a big party with tons of food and games. We usually have a fabulous time. The only bad times we have is when it is Snowing!
