Do you like Halloween?

Do you like Halloween?
Do kids Trick or Treat in your neighborhood?
Do you have any cool Halloween traditions?

OK I am a big kid at heart and I love Halloween. I actually like it more then any other holiday

I have so much fun.....my house is decorated up to the nines. I dress up as a scary witch all out with prosthetic nose, chin and warts. Dry Ice is bubbling it is so great.

I am making candy apples today. Because it has become tradition and everyone knows that is what I give out, my neighbors line up up at my house. Not only do they come for fresh candy apples. They come to see my house decorated, my cool costume and pumpkin carvings. I have carved at least 10 this year.

I feel sorry for those who don't feel safe going out for Halloween. I am glad I know my neighbors and the tradition of Trick-or-Treating is still alive or is that (dead) in my neighborhood.

Happy Halloween

PS: If you have booked an appointment with me this Thursday or Friday and would like a fresh candy apple. Please PM me and I will be sure to bring some with me.
 
Halloween is my favorite time of year too. I love it. I've worked at the same company for 5 years and my first 4 years was at a building where there were alot of younger people, and everyone, including myself of course dressed up. I then moved to the building next door where alot of top notch executives and older people work and almost nobody dresses up. I find it sad that people can't find it inside themselves to dress up and have a little fun and not be shy about it. We all need a little fun in our life. Hearing last year that not many people get dressed up, I still did anyway, hoping that if they see another guy dressed up that year, that maybe they will the next. I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

I love the Halloween parties to and went out to Toronto this year to one. It was great driving down the streets of the bar area and seeing how many people got dressed up.

The thing I love most now though is taking out my kids and dressing up with them. They usually want me to dress up as "Daddy the Clown" and I try different variations of it and do my own makeup as well. It's fun when they want to get madeup too so I can actually do their make up, but this year I have a Snow White and Fairy Princess, and they are happy with that, so so am I as long as I can dress up and walk them up to the doors. This will be the first year my niece will see me as a clown (well, dressed up as one) and am looking forward to having fun with them.

It's one day out of the year that I really really really look forward too :)
 
No.

a) Children use extortion to get food from total strangers, after vandalizing the neighborhood the previous night. What a lesson.

b) Those total strangers could be pedophiles, kidnappers, etc. Or they could have spiked the food with who-knows-what.

Useless holiday, which thankfully, is not recognized by any governing body.

That would explain the green smoke coming out of my arse. :eek:
 
Silly question: Does anyone know that actual history of how Halloween came about? Why are we giving candies to kids or is this part of some ritual celebrating the undead?

Just curious.

i dont care for halloween and it just creates more segregation and obligation between ppl
 
I love Halloween.

Everything about it the feel, T.V. Specials, Movies and dressing up.

This year there were a lot of kids trick or treating in my area more than last year. And there was even less bigger kids which was good.
 
I could be wrong on the meaning but I have always been told that it came about due to children vandalizing their neighbours homes. The communities came together and decided....maybe if we give them a treat they wont play a trick.
So now the lil buggers prank the night before!

Trick or treating is done and I had almost 200 kids show up at my house....awsome.
Between siunset and exhausting our supply around half past eight we gave out 650 single candies. About average for our street, and hugely entertaining. It seemed as if everyone—even the too-old-for-it teens—made more of a dress-up effort this year. What was your impression?
 
Personally...

....I hate it for all the reasons cited.

I just as well my kid didn't participate, and I just as well not bother with kids harassing me.

This year, managed to go one for two....success with the later, failure on the former, probably because kid has reached the age now where they inquire about participation...:rolleyes:

All that said, Molly still has the most amazing real tits...wow...
 
Recently, schools have been replacing "Halloween parties" with "Fall Festivals."

The conservatives oppose this, declaring it political correctness gone amuck, similar to the War on Christmas.

Ironically, the conservatives support this holiday. I thought conservatives believed in reward based on merit rather than claims of oppression. I thought conservatives were tough on crime, too.

Where is the "merit" in begging for food from strangers, and threatening property damage if food is not received?
 
I LOVE Halloween, it combines some of my favorite things!!! I love costumes and dressing up, I love candy.. I mean Halloween was designed for goths hehe Plus it is also Samhein, which is an especially mystical time of year and finally Nov 1st is me birthday...
