    It's all about the kids for me. They are so much fun that night.

    Our extended family gets together a few days before Halloween to carve pumpkins and show off our costumes. Then we have a contest and everyone votes for the winning pumpkin in each category. It's a ton of fun!

    I have always loved Halloween. For one its my fathers Birthday!!! So as a child growing up we always celebrated Halloween and it was fun dressing up on my fathers Birthday..Still to this day I love this , simply celebrating, decorating, dressing up, and baking Halloween treats with the kids.... They love it too,,I still tease my dad on HAlloween, before he retired I would dress up in costume and go visit him on his job with his Birthday present....

    I love celebrating with kids and friends so we do parties at home. I feel it's safer that way.

    I love to hand out candy to trick or treaters. I'm very petite and have given some thought as to trick or treating myself. Last year a little boy asked me if I was grown up!!!

    Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Every year we have a costume party and invite all of our neighbors and friends. The house is decorated with props that I made throughout the year. I love to search on the internet for new inspiring decorations to add to our collection.

    I'm 25 yrs old but I still enjoy dressing up in costumes with my son and going to parties. I don't care what people think, It's halloween, have fun with it :)

    This is the best time of year to spoil the kids in the neighborhood--we buy full-sized candy bars and even give candy to the parents. We want them to know we think they're great and are glad to have them as neighbors!
