do you celebrate halloween

[aggie49]

i decorate and get candy for the kids in the neighborhood but it isn't like when i was kid last year i had maybe 10 kids come to my door i think it is a shame that you have to worry about what your kids or getting in their bags

[sgluckadoo]

No, but not out of having anything against it. I don't have kids or get any trick or treaters where I live. I also don't go to costume parties or know anyone who throws them, so need for getting into costumes. It is just sort of a non event for me.

Of course!!! It's one of my favorite days of the year!

I do so by turning on the sprinklers and chaining a few pit-bulls near the doors  

Seriously though, there are very few kids doing the door to door treating and tricking now, most seem to have parties to attend, so we hand out a few things but really don't dress the place up or anything like that.

I didn't like Halloween much as a  child, nor adult.  I have some negative associations with it.  I don't mind giving out candy to the few who come anymore, which seems to be less each year.  Unfortunately, kids don't need all the sugar.  And parents often consume more than they should..

That's my Birthday, so I have always loved Halloween. I don't decorate like I used to nor hand out candy since we have to trick or treaters where we live, I miss that part.

I am a Christian and cannot celebrate Halloween for any reason.  It is the biggest holiday on the Satanic calendar.

I celebrate by eating candy and watching some movies. I always watch The Great Pumpkin and whatever scary movies I'm in the mood for. I do miss getting in costume though.

when i was younger i did but, now that i know better and that this is another made up holiday, well the kids will have fun and the gov. will make money.

No I don't do anything with halloween anymore as a kid yes, were I live no kids around.

Yes we celebrate. My son enjoys dressing up and going to a few doors before we head to the carnival and this year The church down the way is teaming up with the firefighters and doing something for the kids. Should be nice.

I do not do anything for Halloween. Someone in my family might buy candy for kids if they knock on the door, and that is it.

Since we don't even have any neighborhood children coming to the door any more we just don't bother decorating or doing any celebrating. Halloween has changed so much over the years!!

Oh my!  We have bought the most fabulous giant spider which has a sensor on it. If you walk close by or even make a noise, the spider, which is at least 18 inches wide, jumps two feet out.  I watched this in the store and made it jump many times, every time I jumped out my skin. It made me feel a bit nauceous. I'm a little worried for any small children that might be trick or treating this year - especially if they are an arachnophobe!
