Doing anything fun for Halloween?
Are you going to dress up? Are you going to go out? Or are you just staying home... giving out candy?
A few weekends ago we went to Busch Gardens in Virginia. WHAT A BLAST! The rides ARE awesome! What an adrenaline rush... and after 6:00pm the park turns into the best haunted thrill house/park. Every where you look... every where you go... something is scaring you!
SO FUN!
I'm afraid I have a work matter scheduled that day that can't be moved. That means I'll be working late. I probably will just give candy to the neighborhood kids, if they show up. Not many last year.
I had planned to do some crafts with one of the grandkids. I hope we can do that this weekend, since I'll be tied up next week.
I used to go to a party every year. I had 3 friends whose birthday is on HALLOWEEN! Isn't that bizarre. The one that lived near me, always had a party and we usually dressed up for it. So much fun. Maybe next year.
I'd like to do something for Halloween. It's my favorite holiday and I used to go all out picking out a costume, decorating the house, bringing candy to work, etc. Anymore, I just don't get as much fun from it since I'm alone. Holidays are always more fun when you have family or friends to share them with. No one I know is planning anything for Halloween, and my condo is too small for me to have people over to my place for a party.
I will stay home and hand out candy. Sounds boring, but our neighborhood is popular with the treaters, so I always look forward to it. I've had my treat bags made up for weeks. :teeth We decorate the house with spooky eyes in the windows. One of our neighbors sets up a haunted house for the kids to go through, and others sit out with firepits. Kids come through in droves. It's a fun night.
I dressed up as a Witch for a Halloween Bunco we had a couple of weeks ago. Then we we are going to a party tomorrow night, I'll be dressing up as a Hippie Chick/Go-Go Dancer. On Wednesday, the actual Halloween holiday - I have a softball game.
I will stay home for the one or two who venture down my long, dark driveway. I also worry about vandalism... lots of teens in the area. We also may have significant damage from the incoming storm to deal with.
I always decorate my windows for Halloween. Fiber Optic pumpkins/pumpkin figures, bats & owls in the windows, black & orange garlands. Plus a few in the living room too.
I'll stay home in hopes of trick-or-treaters, although the numbers have been drastically dwindling in the past 5 years especially. :(
My son will bring my grandson over, hopefully in costume, & a few friends with young children/grandchildren sometimes come by.
I think visiting in costume & large organized children's parties have taken the place of trick-or-treating.
What a shame. I remember the fun & slightly scary feeling of going around the neighborhood after dark in costumes & masks you could barely see out of, trick-or-treating door to door.
Kids now just don't know what they are missing.
I think I'm going to have to take my Halloween decorations down before Hurricane Sandy hits.
I've never had trick-or-treaters show up where I live. I live in an out of the way location. I used to live in a place that was at the end of a long, unlit driveway. I had to walk through a junk-filled garage to get to my front door. I didn't have any trick-or-treaters there either. Once when I went trick-or-treating as a child, a teenage boy threw a water balloon in my direction. It landed on the ground about a foot away from me.
Our church is having a Harvest Party. I will be helping with the games. We usually get 1,000 or more kids through each year.
There is also a petting zoo this year. I think I may be more excited than the kids for that. :lol
