How do you feel about Halloween?

1. It's fun!

[GOPisEvil]

2. If I had kids, I'd be more enthusiastic about it.

As it is...ehhhh...if it went away, I wouldn't miss it.

[philosophie_en_rose]

3. I feel the same way.

I dislike having to give candy away. I'm thinking about leaving a big bowl outside with a "sorry, out of candy" note at the bottom.

[GOPisEvil]

4. I'll be out of the house tomorrow evening.

I don't much care for the giving away of candy either. I guess I'm just a curmudgeon. ;)

[philosophie_en_rose]

7. Then I'm a curmudgeon too.

A misunderstood and maligned category of people. :)

[GOPisEvil]

8. I'm still perfecting my "You kids get offa my lawn!!!" yell.

;)

[philosophie_en_rose]

9. I just yell and shake my fist.

Raaarrrrrgh! Combination Wookie and Howard Dean. :)

No. actually the pack of terriers usually takes care of those kids. ;)

[GOPisEvil]

10. Oooooooohhhh. "...release the hounds..."

:D

[JVS]

17. I hate those little bastards!

[Left Is Write]

24. Now, what if...

It were my little munchkins trick-or-treating...and I was behind them with a bag of freshly made cinnamon sugar doughnuts? ;)

[philosophie_en_rose]

27. I'd still release the hounds.

They'd do tricks for donut crumbs. Mainly running around like idiots, but it's a trick.

Besides, you're invited. That's different. :)

[Left Is Write]

39. Why, thank you!

:D

I wanted to know what GOPisEvil thought, 'cause he asked me to adopt him when I said I made doughnuts.

5. I think it's great for the whole family.....

I LOVE seeing the little kids coming around in their cute costumes...

With their parents watching and smiling from the sidewalk......

A lot of fun for the whole family, when done correctly!


:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[GCP]

6. I hate it

I'm sick of the whole thing
:hide:

[Swamp Rat]

11. Boo!

:D

[philosophie_en_rose]

Did the Joker have babies with a LOTR goblin?

Damn! That is one scary Photoshop. :bounce:

[Swamp Rat]

14. Something like that...

:D

[philosophie_en_rose]

18. Lorne? Anderson?

:) switched at birth, I see.

[Swamp Rat]

21. Perhaps the test tubes were switched?

[redsoxliberal]

12. advertising.

13. Its the only time of the year that I can get

snack sizes of my favorite candy bars.

Plus I was waited on today by a Blond girl having a total Blond moment while dressed up as a cotton tail bunny when I was eating at Pizza Hut today.

[JVS]

15. It's just plain old fun, and that's why I'm against it!

Holidays are supposed to be serious.
:-)

[Lilith Velkor]

30. Well, I say it's the day of the devil

That's why I'm for it! :headbang:

[AntiCoup2K4]

32. Hail Satan and his candy pushers!

:evilgrin: :headbang: :crazy: :evilgrin:

[TallahasseeGrannie]

16. I've never liked

really gory costumes but enjoy Halloween. This year my first grandson is 2 and we got him a Shrek Dragon costume. He is INTO it and that makes it a lot more fun.

But I'm a teacher so I am always aware of all the holidays. They are so important to kids.

[Deja Q]

19. I'm sure Michael Jackson loved it...

:wow:

[Lady Freedom]

20. Pure Tricksville Baby!!!!!

Happy Halloween!

[Fox Mulder]

22. Well...the fundies hate it...

so I love it!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[bridgit]

23. It's purely a kiddie thing, but gives hubby the opportunity...

to run around naked in a cornfield with relative immunity :rofl:

[grannylib]

25. Love the costumes, love the candy, love the decorations except the

eight-legged ickies but I especially LOVE THE CANDY!!

[bigwillq]

26. It's my fave holiday but

this year I'm just not in the spirit. Have to work tomm. so going T-or-T with b/f and the kids is out. :(

[Hardrada]

28. I always wanted to trick and treat

for drinks but now better not do that. I am delighted to hand out candy though and see the costumes. Speaking of trick and treating for drinks, some of our trick and treaters are so big I am almost tempted ask if they have driver's licenses. Not that I hand out anything more than Jolly Ranchers or minute Snickers Bars.

[mvd]

29. Being interested in paranormal stuff, I like the scary shows

and events. But I have to say that I don't care for the trick-or-treating.

My kind of holiday is Christmas instead. :hi:

[tjdee]

31. Don't understand how a grave is a good thing on Halloween, not so on other

days.

I *do* like all the kid excitement and the costumes and the candy. And the jack-o-lanterns.

Don't like the gore and the death obsessed and scary stuff--I can appreciate some people do.

But for me, I just don't find bloody clothes funny *any* time. I feel kind of strange seeing graves on people's lawns. I don't enjoy being afraid. :shrug:

I do however, like princesses and togas.

[Oeditpus Rex]

33. If it were done the way it once was

which was more like "trick for treat, with buskers and whatnot showing off their skills and getting pennies and fruit and stuff tossed to 'em, I'd be 83 gajillion percent behind it. But, like just about every other American holiday, it's been wrecked by corporatism and shifts in the societal paradigm.

I'm gonna do a "When I was a kid" thing now, so just go on to the next post. On second thought, I'll just think it and save you the trouble.

:silly:

[enigmatic]

34. My favorite Holiday

Bar none...

[clyrc]

35. Love it love it love it

that's the way I feel about it

[samplegirl]

36. Candy

lots and lots of candy! Who says its just for
kids????

[Seabiscuit]

37. My baby boy's first hallowe'en should be all the treat I need.

[chknltl]

38. I believe that the weekend is becoming more adult oriented.

I am noticing an increase in yard art. I suspect in a few years we may see Halloween yard art equaling Christmas yard art in proportions. The electric companies will reap better profits here than the kiddies. I am also seeing an increase in adult costume parties. I suspect that local Police Departments are doing more and more business on this weekend. (I got to be a designated driver last night, I saw our local PD out in numbers rivaling New Years Eve).
