As a kid I was, as are most children, a huge fan of October 31st. I find that as I got older, I don’t care for the holiday as much, but I was wondering… What are your Halloween traditions?
Do you celebrate Halloween? If so, is it trick-or-treating or just watching a bunch of scary movies throughout the month? do you look forward to costume parties and get-togethers or are you more the sit-home and pass out candy type? Are you involved at all, or do you just turn off the porch light and pray you don’t get T-P’ed or, like my sister, do you deck the yard with everything you can imagine to frighten the youn-ones that will invariably be passing your way on October 31st?
Just wondering. Leave a comment and share in the discussion.

I think my favorite part of the holiday is seeing the kidlings in their costumes – or the cheeky ones trying to scare me when I hand out candy… :-D
It’s a holiday of celebration and fun for me – and I don’t think I’ll ever grow out of it.
I love Halloween. My tradition is to cook a spooky themed supper (which I will post recipes for on my blog in the next few weeks). A cheesy not-so-scary DVD will likely also make the agenda. Last year’s pick of Jack Frost, however, was so bad it has me rethinking the cheesy DVD pick. And also, I am a big fan of Halloween week bike rides–last year we did a pub crawl in costume!
