Popcorn. We need popcorn. And a soda.

I really was against Halloween for a while. I listened to all the stuff about it being evil. But then I remembered my childhood and there was nothign about Halloween being evil and how my kids never thought of it that way either, so I gave in.

Kath, I had the same experience. I enjoyed it as a kid, but later heard it preached against, so I did not partcipate. I think we make a big deal out of something that really is not..

Personally (and from what I've seen, much like most folks here so far), I have no problem with Halloween in and of itself. It's a fun excuse to dress up and eat candy - two activities I immensely approve of. Yes, there can be people who move it in a bad direction, but I think that can be said of pretty much any holiday.

I feel a bit sad for my son - he doesn't really get to enjoy Halloween like I did as a kid. We live out in the sticks - there aren't too many kids around, so we never get trick or treaters. He can't go door to door here in the neighborhood - the houses are way too far apart, and we have a small mountain lion / bear problem.
The idea of him running amok in the neighborhood with a bag of food scares the bejeebers out of me.
We don't really enjoy Halloween like we should. It's a great night for kids to run amok. Once a year is good for that. Kids need it.

I'm thrilled because an annual festival I attend falls during this evil month, so my whole camp is going to have a Halloween theme - I've even been made a flag! I still haven't decided what I'm wearing. I love my zombie. And my voudon mistrix. I have extra costumes on-hand, since I'm not going to DragonCon.
I really want to try and start working with EL wire to make something fabulous.
/sigh
I need to order some sugar skull molds.
Thanks for the reminder about all I have to do, e!

Same here! Who doesn't love dressing up their little girls as princesses or as last year - pirates!
To us it's just a day for dress up and free candy!

My kids still haven't ever carved a pumpkin. I intend that they get to this year.
I tried 4 times to post this as an avatar so you could see it and it would not take. So here it is. Linz carved this from one of those templates and she was so proud. You can get them at the store around halloween. Now we do it every year.

We didn't move to the sticks till Linz was about 5 (She's the youngest) so they did get to TrT for a while. They still remember some of the houses in town. One guy laid in a casket and would rise up to hand them their treats.

She was only 8. I know it's sort of cheating when they use the templates but she was just so happy with her accomplishment. I still smile when I think about how happy she was at how cool it was when she put the candle inside and it glowed like that.
