I was going to make chicken nuggets in vampire shapes, but on second thoughts: that's a bit boring... lol...

so I want to know what you're all having for halloween dinner- and any inspiration you got for me!

thanks!

Our main thoughts are to the snacks for the children who come round and making sure they are things we like if they don't

We will be making all kinds of ghoulish treats. I love Halloween and go all out decorating for the trick or treaters.

We have told our kids that we are not doing halloween parties this year. They are too much like hard work for just one night.

We are hoping my daughter will pick up the gauntlet.........

But it is not looking good.

Caution, I am feral.

You ought to suggest taking it in turns with the point that it was yours last year

Our kids are all grown and away from home but we have to do the candy thing. We are still new in this neighborhood, we should keep up the appearances

Over the last 30 years, there are three times I haven't given out candy...2021, 2020 and one other year. I look forward to doing it this year.

The concrete contractors wanted to start this week or next. I told them, "No way!" Fresh concrete + cars parked on street + Halloween = DISASTER! Even if they didn't pour the concrete beforehand, navigating to my front door would be dangerous.

These days most parents take their children rounds to their friends houses for trick or treat. Sometimes others who have a show of pumpkins outside. That is the main reason we don't get any now the kids have grown and flown. The last I remember were teenagers, but they were Ok and got their treats.

Last year we had about 175 trick or treaters and this year we are expecting even more.

When I have kids I'll be taking them Trick or Treating every year. They'll wear fabulous costumes and will also go to a Halloween party every year.

Autumn is my favourite season: and Halloween - plus the weather - is why.

But that's the way the world is, James: if you don't look like you deserve that desk, you're not going to get that desk.

There is no Halloween celebration here its not a Dutch thing.
But on Nov 11 we have St Martin.
The children walk through the neighborhood with lanterns, they knock on doors singing songs and asking for candy or fruit..
