    I love handing out candy, but the funnest part is thinking all year long of the best costume! I love to be different!

    More and more I have enjoyed decorating for the fall months and especially Halloween. I love the colors of fall and the decorations have become better quality and suited to in-home decorating without looking junky.

    I love Halloween. I loved to take my children trick or treating and just watch the kids and the creativity that goes into the costumes.

    I love decorating the house for any and all holidays. Halloween is especially fun, because the possiblities are endless. I love dressing up anyways, after all I am a girl and that's what we do best.

    My oldest has his birthday two days before Halloween so we make it an extra special holiday at our house. We celebrate old traditions and new!

    Halloween is my favorite! Love figuring out cool costumes...my kids and I have been such things as Edward Scissorhands, Medusa, Steve Eurkle from Family Matters, Corpse Brides and Al and Peg Bundy...I need to start figuring out this years soon!

    I love Halloween. It's always a good time of year. October is a nice month anyway... not to cold in that month. Now I want some candy corn :)

    I answered that we don't celebrate Halloween only because we have no kids and live in a gated community. Therefore we don't participate in the candy giving or dressing up stuff. I do put up a few decorations in the house just for us. When I was little we loved the whole Halloween thing but now that I am older and childless - it really doesn't have any meaning to me (us).
