What do you do to celebrate Halloween?

[Miss Z]

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?

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.

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)

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!
