Halloween Is Upon Us…
October 28, 2008 7:21 am Random Thoughts
I have to first admit that I don’t really care much for Halloween. Sure, it was fun as a kid to go around and get a bunch of candy, but after those years were over I lost interest. But, there are some great memories that come from Halloween!
Trick or Treating
Here’s a tip for the kids: rollerblades! We hit so many houses so fast when we did it this way! It’s the best way to get around the neighborhood in a hurry and still look good in your halloween costumes. Just be careful that you don’t have one that’s too long or you might trip on it 
Company Costume Days
About 6 years ago I worked for a company that really encouraged departments to dress up in themes. One department was a group of pirates with their gold ‘booty’ (gold chocolate coins). I can’t remember any of the other ones, but my department was Richard Simmons and his Fat Cronies!
Totally not politically correct, but when did I ever care about that anyway? So we had the skinniest guy in the group dress up like Richard Simmons and then the rest of us wore sweats and stuffed them so we looked massively fat. Then we’d all work out together following Richard’s lead. It was a lot of fun!
For the Kids
Now I just do it for the kids. It’s really cute to dress the kids up and see them get brave knocking on doors to ask for candy.
Have a great and safe Halloween! If you need a good costume, check out HalloweenAdventure.com for some great costumes!

What about carving pumpkins and toothpicking pieces of pumpkin on top to make devil horns? That and sitting in the family room trading candy with each other to make sure you got the kinds that you wanted.

Yeah, when I was a kid it was fun, but now I just think it’s silly. Here’s a great pumpkin though: http://kilburnkapers.blogspot.com/2008/10/when-pumpkins-drink.html

Nice! I think the addition of the beer cans was a classic touch on this one.
Well I guess, children enjoy much during Halloween for they can play tricks and treats, wear Halloween costumes and more.

For the kids it’s great. But personally I’m tired of it.

In Italy people used to dress up in a different period of the year, around mid february, for a Holiday called “Carnevale”. Now, with this globalization going on, people party and dress up during Halloween too. I have yet to decide if this is a good thing or not.

I’m thinking probably not. Do we need another reason to dress up like weirdos?

Yeah, I agree that Halloween tends to lose its luster sometime after the age of 8. But…there’s a bit of a limbo period, and once you reach the legal drinking age, Halloween parties take on a WHOLE new meaning.

Yeah, they tend to do bad things to your house sometimes if you don’t give the treats i bet!

Kids really love this time and want to make the most of this festive season.

Seriously. It should almost be a monthly thing just to spice things up a bit.

I’ve felt the same way for several years. I still try to enjoy it at least a little bit, but in the end it’s just kinda silly.

what did you dress up as this year?
[Reply]
I would have never thought of that! Halloween would have been a mess for me and my kids this year if we didn’t find a costume. We were approaching Halloween with a couple days with no costume, and by luck found http://www.anytimecostumes.com where we found cute and inexpensive costumes. Now I need to buy rollerblades so I can stay away from the long trick or treating!
