I love Halloween so much!

HALLOWEEN……………………..Oh my, just hearing or saying that word when the season is near fills me with such happiness!

What do I love about Halloween? Wow, where do I begin???…………………………..

I love everything about Halloween, the suspense of it, the effort the trick or treaters make (well, most of them), I love seeing my nieces & nephews at Halloween in their costumes, it makes me very happy……………………………

One year, I’d love to go trick or treating with my nieces & nephews, just to dress up & go around with them & soak up the atmosphere, how fab would it be if we could get all of them to go together?! However, I don’t know how Richard would feel treating the trick or treaters that come to our door all night cause they’d still have to be supplied! I really do love to spoil the trick or treaters, I get lots of treats in for them.

I really don’t like the trick or treaters who just put on a mask & expect to look like they’ve made an effort………………sorry to tell ya but you haven’t & it’s OBVIOUS! At least put on a costume with it!

My brother was born on Halloween & we had a Halloween party for his 30th……………………

I really do love this pic of my brother, I thought it really looked the part!

I love the pagan association of All Hallows Eve (although, if someone asked me about it, I wouldn’t feel comfortable enough in having the knowledge to give them a fully appreciative answer).

The fact people always associate ghosts with it.

I love watching Most Haunted Live (when it’s on).

Carved pumpkins……………………….

My perfect Halloween would be to completely decorate my house, dress up & throw a Halloween party, even inviting the trick or treaters that come with adults in for a little homemade roasted parsnip & pumpkin soup, maybe a game of apple bobbing or a ghost hunt (of sorts) & a glass of something slimy or warming! Hehe.

It’s a shame we don’t all do Halloween at work, I reckon it would look amazing if everywhere was decked out for Halloween, I tell ya, if I owned my own business, it would be covered in Halloween deckies & pumpkins (carved & uncarved), I did do a bit (& it was a little bit too) last year………………………

dressed-up-for-halloween-2015-over-the-road — I dressed up a bit at work last year, this was taken in a café that’s across the road from where I work, she always went to town & was dressed up as Cruella Deville last year.

It’s funny really, parents spend so much time telling their younglings not to take things from strangers & then on Halloween, they’re allowed to fill their boots (so to speak)! Hehe.
