Do you celebrate Halloween?

[Kitten Medli]

I was at Walmart today and there were Halloween things set out. So,I am curious,do you celebrate it?

I,for one,don't. If it was just for little kids to dress up as things not evil looking to get a piece of candy..I'd be fine. Its the witches,the mummies,the vampires and etc things and people going around when they are way too old for it just to freak out some kids/cause trouble. (So no,I am not saying your a freak if you're 17 and still go out on Halloween.)

So,instead I celebrate Fall harvesting. Moms idea first.

Yes, I celebrate Halloween. I don't dress up though, I just sit at the door and give out candy to the little kids. My sister likes to carve faces in pumpkins.

I might take my Neice trick-or-treating this year, though, since she learned to walk already.

I will never be too old for Halloween.

I don't know why, there's just something about it. The dark air, just starting to get crisp and cool (it's LA, alright?), the trees turning somewhat autumnal (see previous comment). So many people out in a usually quiet neighborhood, everyone friendly and happy. Getting a few hours to spend with my friends. Getting to wear costumes, become someone else. And let's not forget the candy.

Not an adequate description, really - I just love it.

Last year, my friends and I all trick-or-treated in my neighborhood, with a majority of us going as LotR characters, before sleeping over at my house. Except for a little drama, it was quite awesome (and it was raining)!

And no one in my neighborhood tries to cause trouble, really. The worst we've had was some silly string. o_O

I love halloween but nobody in England bothers about it.
It's the only holiday I am bothered about, I still dress up even if no one else does.

as an 11 year old who is intrested in anything dark and spooky, of course I celebrate haloween.

[Paul]

No. Not really.

Despite the medias desperation to sell us halloween crap, New Zealand still isn't very interested in it.

[Articfox]

Nope, Halloween is like any other holiday, it annoiys me.

Well, I don't know what there is to celebrate about it, but it's not like I'm against it....it just seems too childish for someone my age.

[rbpnmn]

well, my mom hates the whole mummy, skeleton, scary stuff thing (kind of a religious thing). I can still go trick-or-treating if I want to but I don't. My mom just gets me a pound or two of skittles. We carve pumkins and have some pumkins that have lightbulbs inside them that we put out but that is as far as we go with the decorations.

Yes, I do. We carve pumpkins and hand out candy. I go trick or treating. That's pretty much the point of Halloween among 13 year olds: get candy.

I wont deny it: I sometimes cause trouble It's so much fun to hide behind some bushes and jump out when you see some little kids walking your way.

[EndorianShire]

I used to celebrate it, yes when I was younger. Now that I'm older, I don't. My family & I still get candy for the little kids though even though a lot of them come.

Yep! I'll never be too old for it. Whatever friend(s) I go with and I just sorta wander the neighborhood, get candy, hang out, whatever. And I still love to carve pumpkins.

We also set up a coffin once...My friend had a lot of bushes along her walkway, so we'd put the coffin inbetween two of them so it was partially hidden. Then we'd take turns being in the coffin, and when some unsuspecting victim was coming, we'd use a walkie-talkie to inform the person in the coffin to jump out and scare the people. It was great!

And then people would also come back more than once just because of it. XD

Nope, partly for religious reasons, and partly cause I don't eat much candy anyways.

[shortin]

Nope, just like what Yoshi said for religious reasons.
