What do you do for Halloween?

It's another poll!!!!

Actually, I'm just curious. My family and I have certain traditions we do every year for different holidays. Around Halloween (or autumn harvest, or Samhain, or All Hallows Eve, etc), we go to Hersheypark, go on a hayride, and usually have a party or dinner. We also hand out candy on Halloween. I have friends who literally hide in the house and turn off all the lights so they don't have to hand out candy. Some go to clubs, and some dread it because they have to walk their kids all over the neighborhoods.

What do you do for Halloween, if anything?

I don't know. Halloween is pretty quiet here. Now, if you ask what I do for Beggar's Night, the "sanctioned holiday substitute"....

Now that the keets are gone we turn out the lights and pretty much ignore Halloween... although we are heading to some friends house this year for their cul de sac party..... Of course recently I saw enough candy to last me awhile..... prepping for the Baghdad project....

Halloween is BB's favorite holiday!!

This is what I usually do:

Pre-Halloween: Buy costumes, decorate, etc. etc. etc.

Halloween
1. Go to Victoria's school and be room-mom for the day, helping with all the halloween activities (although I can't this year

)

2. Make a big batch of chili and have my parents, my sister, and her kids over for dinner.

3. Take all kids out trick-or-treating and hand out candy.

4. Eat cake (which will have 31 candles this year) and ice cream and open birthday presents!!!!

5. Clean up the kids and pray for the sugar-induced coma to come soon so I can get their bouncing bodies into bed.

6. If it's a weekend, hubby and I will go out to a bar or party or something. If it's a weeknight, we stay in.

Halloween is my favorite time,I believe I enjoy it more than Christmas.We do all the standard things during the month of October(pumkin patch,corn maze,hay rides),but halloween night I have a haunted trail set up through my backyard for all the trick or treaters to visit.I love it when I hear the kids say "Lets come back to this house"

We keep trying to convince you to come to terms with your "inner palm tree" and spend more time on the Warm & Sunny side of the Mason-Dixon line!

My inner palm tree is in a constant battle with my inner conifer.
