Halloween Chatter

Well, I'll start us off! My friends and I are doing Alice in Wonderland this year. So far, though, we only have Alice (me), the Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Heats, so hopefully we can wrangle a few more people. I'm not doing the Disney Alice, though, it's too 'goodness and light' for me. I am aiming for something a bit darker, more along the lines of the Tim Burton Alice, but not specifically her.

I really, really love Halloween, but sadly I'm too old to go trick or treating and I don't have much of a social life so I have no party to go to XD I'm probably just gonna stay at home and hand out candy to the very small amount of kids that come through our streets (the area I live in was full of kids when I was little, so now they're all grown up and areas a bit further away are the ones with lots of kids now)

However, I still really enjoy the idea of Halloween, the traditions around it and I'm looking forward to having children so that I can repeat those traditions with them - which basically is just to dress up and go trick or treating with them, and listen to people awwww and ooooh over how adorable they are XD

I think I have only handed out candy once on Halloween since moving out of my parents house. I always want to stay home and hand it out though, and watch scary movies... but it never seems to happen. My friends like going out too much. I remember that we always went trick or treating until around 6th grade. My parents had recently started going to church and decided Halloween was inappropriate, so the Halloween of my 6th grade year, they told us it was our last one, and that we should make sure and enjoy it. I don't remember what I dressed up as. The only costumes that I can ever remember wearing from when I was a kid are She-Ra and a hobo. I know I dressed up every year though before the ban...I think I might have been a pirate that last time.

Honestly, I do not celebrate Halloween.

We don't have trick or treats in here --unless you live in a subdivision whose homeowners decided to have such. It has been years since my youth group have planned to join/do such, but we weren't able to do it because it lapsed on some more activities. So, yeah, I don't have any Halloween stuff to share that much aside from the random let's-watch-a-horror-film-because-it's-Halloween of the family and the annual November 1st celebration that we have for my sister's bday, that mostly took place in the cemetery.

Oh wait, no, I've attended a Halloween party last year. It was my first, and it was fun! No trick or treats, still, but we had dress-up. :D It was themed "Wish-alloween" and everybody's to dress what their childhood frustrations are. I dressed as...a violinist doll. Because I thought it's more cool than dressing up as a lawyer or a teacher. Plus, yeah, I've always wanted to be a doll when I was young. XDD
Then, we had some games and a wittle bit of modelling for the dress up and finally, awarding and eating. :D

*sneaks into room*

I've been celebrating Halloween since I was a baby (I was Bam Bam from the Flintstones ) and I don't think there's been a year where I didn't go out with my family or friends (yes, I know I'm too old now, but since me and my friends act like little kids we still go every year).

While my costumes have ranged from a witch to Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, to an evil tomato one year (it was supposed to be a pumpkin but it sure didn't look it xD), lately my friends and I have been going out based on one them. Last year we were an ice cream sundae (I was the Hershey's syrup!), the year before we all spelled out the word "Booo!" and the year before that we were each a different type of candy (which unfortunately led to everyone thinking we only wanted that specific type of candy ).

Like stephy, we have to use a car to drive from house to house because otherwise you'd be spending the majority of your time hiking up large hills in the pursuit of candy!

I honestly have no idea what we're going as for this year, but I'm sure it will be something just as silly as usual.
