I love Halloween.
I've been asked to organize a Halloweenn luncheon this year at work.
I'll be in costume at work, and then leave early to take my friends' kids trick or treating, and then to a friend's house for a small party.

You have such a head for organizing things like that. :)
He even organized a second n in Halloween so the other n wouldn't be lonely!!
Well, she made them all go out trick or treating, and the people whos doors they knocked on had no idea what was going on!
Ava told me that when they got back, they had collected note pads, plastic fruit, cigarettes and various other things from people who had no candy around.
:laugh:
What, no Foster's? :o
Kerry, those trick or treating kids may have been started by my friend.
lmao!
a number of years ago, one of my friends held dual citizenship, for US and Austrailia.
On her first Halloween there, she invited her friends to her flat for a Halloween party. She explained the custom to them, and they all came in costume and she decorated the house, but with US decorations, as she could find none over there.

P.S., What does "Imao!" mean? ???
Kerry,
That's an "L." It's "LMAO," meaning "Laughing my ass off." ;D
Thank you kindly. :) I've seen it used a couple of times and wondered what it meant. :-\ I remember when I first arrived here at BetterMost and was very new to all this, Jess (injest) used the expression ROTFL. I had to ask her what it meant. ::) Now I use it myself! :D
Anyone else going to dress up?
I'm thinking I take my black combat boots, black jeans, and leather jacket. Add a bunch of gothic jewelry, use makeup to pale my face, and add dark circles to the eyes, and a pair of black feather wings, and go as a demon/fallen angel.
I told Rich (LoneLeeB3) about it, and his reply was I was "too sweet" to pull that off.
Now I want to do it even more.
I voted 'other'.
We don't really celebrate Halloween over here. To us, it's more of a commercial thing that came over from the US, like Valentine's day. The shops are nicely decorated and our local bakery now has chocolates witches on sale, so I'm not complaining. ;D
In my village there is a tradition of a 'witches walk' through the woods on the last Saturday before November 1st. I think it's the 30th time it's been organised this year.
20 groups of about 30 people go on a 2h30min walk in the woods after dark with a guide. No lights are allowed. And along this walk you'll meet all sorts of weird and scary creatures and stories are told about the underworld where the witches live. There are even witches on horseback galloping through the woods in the pitch dark. Very scary and impressing. Although I had to laugh last year when my oldest daughter actually recognised one of the horses from the stables where we go riding! LOL
My husband will be a guide again this year. It's his third year and he'll be dressed as a monk. ::) It's a fun way to spend a Saturday evening. I'm hoping for good weather.
Now, that's funny!

You know I love you, Chuckie, even as a dark angel. 8)
Anyone have any suggestions. ???

There are also lots of drinks stops for the grown ups.One guy has a band in his driveway and pizza and drinks. Another family always have a Budweiser stand, draught Bud. There sre so many margharita stops I could be drunk by the bottom of my road !!!
I'd like to watch a scary movie and go out latter. But I've seen most scary movies. Don't care the for gore fest film of the 1980's thru present day. I think Rosemary's Baby is one of my favorites horror pictures though not terribly scary. The orginal version of The Haunting was also quite good. I've seen all the Hammer Films. An American Werewolf in London I've seen way too many times.
Anyone have any suggestions. ???
Oh, the Witches Walk sounds like FUN! And spooky! I'd love it! :D
Do they celebrate St. Maarten's Day in Belgium Fabienne?
I had read that Halloween was starting to catch on in Sweden, but that ppl were becoming concerned about the Americanization of their culture and so it was dying out. Was this ever the case in Belgium?
The Feast of the Lemures
I guess they'll know how to do it from all that TV watching. AND with the appropriate accent. :-\
