    My children are all grown up now but when they were young we dressed up and went out with them after we handed out candy to the neighborhood children we loved to see all the costumes on the other children and had a wonderful time. Now its fiun to go out and have a good time celebrating with others as i dont have children coming to my door anymore.

    I don't celebrate Halloween per se, but my church hosts a Family Fall Festival, where kids and families can come and have a good, safe time. There is free food, drinks, rides, games and candy for everyone. The last couple of years, we have had Christian bands perform it's a great way to celebrate the season without the negatives. Hopefully people come away knowing that Jesus loves them.

    I love the holidays. The best part is decorating the house, being creative.

    Halloween is a time for kids of all ages, not only do I love to dress up, but I love to dress up my home too. Pumpkins, wreaths, hay, scarecrows, etc. Most of the outside decor can run all the way up to Thanksgiving. Fall what a cool time of the year in oh so many ways...................................

    I used to not really enjoy halloween until i had kids. Now i love the fact that they are so excited to dress up and get candy. Its really fun picking out costumes and plus it saves me from buying candy for almost a month.

    We love Halloween. We decorate and invite friends over. We have about 15 kids all together. Then the dad's take all the kids through our neighborhood to trick or treat, while the mom's greet trick or treaters. Our neighborhood really get's into it as well.
