What are you planning for Halloween?

[BakersDozen]

 

I dont want to do Halloween.

Is it too simplistic to say, "Then don't!"?

[Paula in PA]

My dd isn't going this year. She'll have dance class that night and has chosen to go to it instead of t-or-t.

[IsabelC]

It is just an excuse to eat candy and do a craft:lol:

What? Are we meant to have an excuse? :D

 

 

 

We'll be celebrating Beltane and trying to ignore the growing trend for doing Halloween ;)

We'll have a nice dinner, spend some time telling stories of the loved ones who have passed on.

Other vote here, Beltane.

Sounds more appropriate for Samhain! But don't let me stop ya. :)

dd12 can't have candy this year (Lymes) so we won't be going trick-or-treating. She wants to volunteer at the retirement home where she volunteers. They put on a HUGE haunted house and it is always a great attraction.

 

We also plan to go to Hammond Castle. It will be AWESOME at night, for Halloween!

[angela in ohio]

I voted Nothing.

 

It's a Wednesday, so we will be home for the girls to get school work done. We don't celebrate Halloween, and I don't see any difference between regular trick-or-treating and the alternative events (I know, I know, but that's my personal opinion.)

[MissKNG]

I don't do halloween. DH does.

[Jen in PA]

I almost forgot I also plan to do this. Because I am always looking for a good excuse to buy more books. :D

[Parrothead]

We do T or T, hand out candy via self serve bowl, and have a pumpkin carving party a few days prior to Halloween.

[Soror]

Last year we went Tand T in a friend's neighborhood as we live rurally. I don't know what we'll do this year as my energy level is wretched and the thought of it exhausts me, perhaps dh will take over this year.

DD7 is planning to be an earth dragon. No idea how I'm going to accomplish that!

 

We'll have a halloween party with our co-op, and we actually have a Latin class that day at my house that will be at least somewhat seasonal. DD will trick or treat in the neighborhood. Our church doesn't do a Trunk or Treat, but if she's invited to go to one with a friend, she'll probably do that as well.

 

She could care less about the candy-it's the going around, seeing costumes, and just the whole party feel that's important to her. I'll end up throwing most of the candy away a day or two later, and she'll never notice.

[Lily_Grace]

I voted 'other' and 'planned event'. Halloween isn't big around here, but the base does plan a fall fest/trick or treat stations on the weekend before. However, while the kids are doing that, dh and I will be going to spend the weekend at Vlad's castle in Romania. And trust me, I wish I could take them with!

[Mergath]

We go to the local trunk or treat. People around here don't really seem to do trick or treating from house to house for some reason. We've tried it the last couple years, and many of the people looked at us like we were nuts.

 

We're Pagan, so we also do some Samhain stuff.

[Mergath]

Sounds more appropriate for Samhain! But don't let me stop ya. :)

:lol:

[WIS0320]

My three kids decided to be Wendy, Peter Pan and Tinker Bell. I'm possibly more excited about their costume choices this year than they are! :tongue_smilie:

 

Trick or Treating and handing out candy is the standard plan for us each Halloween.

LOL

 

See what I get for daydreaming while answering. :lol:

[littlebug42]

We will be trick or treating. There will also be a party but that is mainly because Halloween is my oldest daughter's 11th birthday.

I am glad you mentioned that. It is my nephew's birthday. Don't want to forget!

[lailasmum]

We are most likely going to go to a local attraction that is basically an outdoor museum. It is a Victorian/ Edwardian Village (it's in the BBC series Edwardian farm) they basically get people dressed up in a variety of costumes and kids go from house to house telling jokes and trick or treating. They also have a train that goes into a copper mine and then they tell local ghost stories. It was fun last year. We may trick or treat in the street but I might just do a little party at home. We used to do a kids samhain thing with friends but they've moved away now.

That sounds cool! I wish we could come.
