Do you celebrate any of these holidays this time of year?

*newfan* · 10-31-2018, 08:25 AM

Yeah, celebrate Halloween for the children, we have some decorations/pumkins/costumes etc. I don't go all out for it though.

*IndigoErth* · 10-31-2018, 09:36 AM

Yup, Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. Not that celebrating consists of a whole lot these days, but I've still got some decorations up and will get my pumpkin carved this afternoon.

Maybe someday I can get back to decorating the front yard the way I used to.

Yes! My girlfriend and I did a "Scream" couple's costume this past weekend.

*IndigoErth* · 10-31-2018, 12:26 PM

Nice.

The one time of year I wish I was comfortable using contacts. Envy people who can use masks.

Just a Leo costume shirt for me today; the nicely detailed one from the last film. I did throw on a black belt and black tabi socks I have (with the sandals I've worn much of the year), so I definitely went all out. lol

Got a jack o lantern pumpkin on the "patio" and got some candy ready for trick or treaters. But no costumes, I was working all weekend so I missed out on the Halloween party (again). I was going to be a witch or Elvira.

I might have missed the kids going door-to-door as I had someone over fixing my shower.

I went to a small party as Shredder, I'm a cross between a witch and the grim reaper this eve, depends how I wear the hood on my cloak.

Most popuar costume by U.S. state: https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/...te/1727220002/

Okay, winner go to Jersey.

edit:

But this Mikey costume confuses me... lol Never have I seen one like that. Odd.

It was a line-up of 80s sitcom stars over on Good Morning America for the annual Halloween spectacular (l to r: George Stephanopoulos, Rob Marciano, Lara Spencer, Michael Strahan, Robin Roberts, Amy Robach and Ginger Zee)

8pm, not a single trick or treater, and our end of the neighborhood is just dark. No doubt the other end looks the same.

At this rate I wouldn't care if a couple 20-years-olds came to our door.

Halloween used to be decent around here years ago. A couple newer neighbors had lights on last year, I thought maybe there was a little hope again, but even they didn't bother this year.

No, I don't.

Most of the trick-or-treaters I saw were at my boyfriend's neighborhood.

Probably made one family's night when I recognized their daughter was dressed as Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service...

Which ironically I've never actually watched.

The only thing remotely appropriate for Halloween was watch a TV show with UtromPrincess.

Spoiler:

But, I'm more looking forward to tomorrow when I can double feature Coco and The Book of Life. I sort of like how Dia Los Muertos is becoming more "mainstream", especially since the premise of it is more definable than Halloween. A matter of "honoring deceased loved ones" or "spooky day for candy"

While I'm at the topic though...check out how all-in my family went when my brothers and I were tiny...in 1999 according to the timestamp. Wow.

Matching home-made costumes...

And me needing some front teeth for Christmas

I'm still a big kid at heart. I still enjoy Halloween.
As for All Saints Day, that day doesn't mean much to me, but, I don't have any issues if anyone celebrates the day.

Coach Steve "doing sex on a lady." Dear god please no, let that name succumb to Darwinism. Also the Shame Wizard, but he's okay.
