Halloween!

[Peachey 10]

Hi Everyone,

Halloween is fast approaching. So what are you going to dress as this year? Any particular traditions you have at halloween?

I usually end up going to a party. This year I'm going all the way to Ottawa for my party. Should be fun.

This is the costume I picked up tonight:

This is potentially racist, so I apologize in advance... LOL

But 2 friends and I are all dressing up as Mexicans and are going to be Three Amigos... hahaha We picked up sombreros last night, and some poncho making material, and mustaches, and I have some maracas, and we'll drink only mexican related drinks all night... hahha I'm really excited actually. I think it's going to be hilarious. I'm also going to try to get some other accessories to go with... I have a list... LOL

Think this, without the guns.. lol My friend wants to get cap guns, but I think that's a STUPID f'ing idea, especially since we're going to a bar.. and yet, they say we can't have a pinata... okaaaaay.... not sure I follow the logic (I understand pinatas can be dangerous with drunk people... lol but I was just going to have it with a hole precut and pour candy out of it or something. lol)

I don't celebrate Halloween anymore.

I was in the US last year for it, my fiance went to a party thrown by his coworkers, but I really didn't want to wander around in some costume I'll probably never wear again having to just not talk to people.

So I stayed up till like 1am laughing at ridiculous stuff.

We did get pizza and chips n stuff the next day though.

Mmm, ruffles and onion dip.

Well Halloween for me is actually a holiday so theres a few other thins I do instead of party, I usually attend what is called a dumb feast, which is where everyone is silent, you cannot talk from the time you step in the building until you leave. The tables are all set, food is served buffet style with little lables so you know whats in everything. One person is designated as the attender, they serve a plate to empty spots (1 per table) which is to represent people who have passed on. To each person, that empty spot represents someone else, and the name tag on the spot is simply marked Honored Guest.

I know a few people who I'd like to invite to a silent feast

But in all honesty... the rest of that sounds very sweet, and a little heartbreaking... I've never heard of that before, but it's interesting!

I am looking forward to it! NO Halloween in NZ, but here they do, and the grand kids are already excited about it. I might dress up...I have heaps of SCA gear..

I was thinking about this the other day..my parents used to dress us up and turn us loose in the village on our own. I guess times have really changed.

[Carlawarla 1]

We don't dress up, and I can't remember going to a Halloween party since I was a teenager! We do get a pumpkin and hand out treats though.

My son, when he was about 4, wanted to be a pirate for Halloween. I was working, and my ex was getting the kids ready to head out after giving them an early supper. He decided to do the face painting for my son before I got home, and made an eye patch, and mustache on my son. Of course he coloured in the eye patch all black etc. however used permanent marker. He looked like he was punched in the face for about a week. Very hard to get off skin!

Peachey always looks amazing in her Halloween costumes.

Last year, mine came a day late so I had to make it out of cardboard and dollar store items. I went as a fish tank.

This year I'm going as the mad hatter.
