Halloween is coming, are you excited?

How I wish my country celebrates Halloween. In Singapore, Halloween is not celebrated at all, other then some business trying to earn money and have halloween themes. If only I had a chance to go around trick or treating. Dressing up as characters that doesn't exist in real life is fun too. I do hope I get a chance to celebrate it.

I am so excited because of my kid too. This year will be her first "real" Halloween. Last year she was only 10 days old. But I can't wait to see her reaction to everything this year. She can walk now and it will be sooo cute. I just love all the costumes that I have to choose from.

no, not really. halloween is not that big of a deal in the philippines. only a few celebrates the same. though there are a lot of sponsored parties where people (young and old, usually the latter) dress up for hallow's eve. other than that, said event is not really celebrated. no T-o-Ts, no scary house displays, and no teepee-ing. to be honest, i have never been trick or treat-ing my entire life.

I am not a big fan of Halloween. It was ok when my kids were younger and we just went to a few homes that we knew. But the more I think about Halloween, it is a senseless holiday. For 364 days out of the year, we tell our children to be safe, don't take candy from strangers, don't go to strange houses, but then we contradict ourselves on this one day. I don't pass out candy(can think of better things to do) and I am glad that my kids are 18 &20. Halloween is not my favorite holiday,at all.

I'm excited, just because I love the season. I love everything about fall... not sure why, but I do. I also love the haunted hayrides & houses... definitely looking forward to those!

Halloween is such a beautiful time of the year . I am extremely excited to see the outfits and new designs . The smells everything about Halloween is mysterious and wonderful! Happy Halloween :D PS, the candy is awesome too :P

When I was in a training center, we also had a celebration of Halloween, all students wore many kinds of costumes, then our principle led us to walk in Yangshuo Park, some students tried to make some strange noise, it was so dark,but also there were lots of fun.

I've always loved Halloween. I suppose when I was little it was exciting to dress up and the next day happens to be my birthday, so it was an extra special holiday for me. These days, my kids dress up, and I myself usually dress up too. We turn the front yard into a horror house, and make the kids go through it to get their candy. We also have a party/haunted house in their martial arts school, and we usually end up taking a room in the house. We've had all kinds of themes, including a blood bank, Hannibal's care, and Hollywood Horror. This year we are planning to do Disney horror. We will be the 3 little murderous pigs who take revenge on the big bad wolf. We have contests for the best room and prizes as well, so we do find ourselves getting into the spirit of things. Have a safe and happy Halloween!

Im a looking forward to experience british celebration of halloween day, but i what i miss is i can't able to visit my grandfather grave, but i make sure that i will light a candle for him and pray for him. Trick or treat im sure thats fun here and maybe going to prepare some sweets for kids if they are knocking the door. Happy posting.

I guess I like halloween but what really takes my interest around this time is the fact that there always seems to be a horror movie or two on the box! I just love horror movies and halloween is the best time to show them I think. I guess I don't go out trick or treating anymore, I'm 33 years of age! You do have the kids though who come to your door and some of them are quite friendly! Others will throw tomatoes at your windows or something similar if you don't give them anything. I'm all for halloween anyway. If you have your family with you then yes, you can enjoy some quality time together. I live alone though and my family passed away many years back. I only have my close friends available at this time but sometimes they need to be with their families too. Happy Halloween by the way, I know it's early but all the same. Andrew

I am not excited for halloween since we still dont have kids and this year my hubby and his sister didnt get along so well. So i probably will spend halloween by eating out together.

Yes I'm excited for Halloween, firstly because I work part time at the local elementary school and get to wear a costume all day, last year I went as a wizard/witch, the year before as Pocahontas, and even though I live very rural, working at the school gives me the opportunity to buy the candy and hand it out to the kids as they head for the buses. Plus living in New England the foliage is just about peak then and it is gorgeous outside, great for long afternoon walks, and I love haunted hayrides, houses etc!

I agree with crunkyjens, next to Christmas, Halloween is my favorite holiday!! I have a 9-year-old and we love to go all out with the decorations. We go for the "harvest" look and add the Halloweeny effects. We also have this tradition of making decorations for the season. Last year, we used an old piece of barn wood and wrote "Witches Inn" on it and hung it beside the front door. We had trimmed trees around the same time so we took a nice branch and tied a handful of straw to the end for an authentic looking witches broom that we leaned against the sign. We also love to come up with creative luminaries for the sidewalk. We're going to try to cut jack-o-lantern faces in the sides of old coffee cans, paint them orange, put a little sand in the bottom and add a tealight candle. I have a feeling though that it won't be as easy as it sounds!! We make an original scarecrow every year (never looks the same) and carve 6 pumpkins in various sizes to scatter around the front porch. We've started browsing the big Halloween stores for costume ideas, of course, we love the whole makeup and all vs. the simple mask. When he was real little, we did the spiderman and batman thing, his little brother and sister (other mother's) were Robin and Catwoman... they were 5, 3 and 7 mo. They were too cute!! Once he got older, we went all out on the vampire costume. We made his hair black, used black makeup to give him a widow's peak, the white face, red lips, a little shadowing and of course, the classic touch of dripping blood from the mouth. Once he had a taste of the theatrical costume, he won't go back to the masks! I don't blame him though, I won't either!! Hope everyone has a Fun and Safe Halloween!!!

I just want the candy! *LOL*

i'm excited that halloween is coming. next to christmas, this is my favorite holiday. i don't dress up but i do accompany my younger cousins trick or treating and of course, i get my fair share of their candies. lol! another thing i like about halloween are the praties that my friends throw. i don't bother gettign a costume but i do like to ogle at the sexy customes that most of the girls wear. last year, my favorite was a friend of mine who went as a sexy nun. lol! very sexy and crazy costume. anyway, i think this year will be different because we'll be doing away with the party and instead we will just have a dvd marathon of really scary movies plus a lot of chips and booze. i doubt if someone who dress up just to watch "the sixth sense" and get drunk. lol!

Hi marisriel, Yes I am very excited, I am going to a Halloween party anddddd I'm going all dressed up as a witch hee hee hee. Tamara

I am very excited for Halloween coming up. I do not have any children, so I don't really share in the excitement of making costumes for littles ones or trick or treating but I love everything else about it. I love decorating my apartment and the outside of my door and making it all Halloweeny and spooky! It's almost the 1st of October and that's when I pull out all my decorations and hang them up, then decide what else I can buy to add to them. I have started a tradition with my dog, who is now a little over 1 years old, so this will be her second Halloween. I get her a little doggy costume and dress her up, then I dress myself up and we take a quick picture and send it along to all my relatives. I recently moved down to Florida a couple of years ago, so all my family is still up North in Michigan so it makes for a nice greeting. I am not a fan of dressing up dogs either, so the costume goes on once for the picture, then it comes right off! Our first Halloween last year I was a witch and my little Bella was a strawberry! LOL She looked so cute! So in short yes, I enjoy Halloween very much! Next to Christmas it's my favorite holiday!
