Halloween

Re: Halloween

I have always loved any excuse to put together a costume, and Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. My friend and I are going as Freddy Kreuger and Jason Voorhees respectively. She's got her whole outfit put together, and I spent the day getting some bits for me. All I have left is the hockey mask and some black leather gauntlet gloves. After that, I have to start using tea and a seam ripper to distress the clothing to an appropriate degree. Make-up will also be used in pretty obscene quantities for the both of us.

I used to go all-out on my costumes every year (Two-Face and a wastelander are my proudest ones), but the past few years I have been too broke or too busy to really make something worthwhile. Hopefully, my Jason costume comes out as awesome as I hope and I have a creation to be proud of.

Re: Halloween

I'm not diggin where Halloween is going around here. Fewer and fewer houses participate - people prefer the "Trunk or Treat" down at the school or church parking lot (actually impressed the church participates in it). It's just not the same anymore.

I guess it's just as well, since my kids are too old for trick or treating anyway. But I miss those days.

Re: Halloween

In the Netherlands Halloween is becoming more and more popular these last years. Even had some trick or treaters who came at my door last year. A lot of people don't really bother getting some candy, because it's not very known yet that it's celebrated on a larger scale nowadays here. Lucky for those kids I had some cookies left I will get them some candy in case they show up again.

I celebrate Samhain. I usually remember my deceased loved ones and honour my older ancestors. I also meditate about the up-coming year.
Do any of you do rituals for Samhain?

I typically go down to the river and send off a messenger boat with messages for my dead loved ones

Re: Halloween

I dedicate my first piece of candy corn to The Dark Lord. Then I finish off the mini snickers and pass out in my own puddle of Diabetic shame.

And wash it all down with a Diet Dr Pepper.

Re: Halloween

Well, I have a couple of kids come by each year. We're really generous with candy, since so few people come by . In terms of actual stuff, I do a big climate regulation spell to prevent drought (and sometimes get a bit overzealous), and reaffirm my relationship with the local spirits. That stuff doesn't have much to do with Halloween, it's just an easy day to remember.

Re: Halloween

I will be honoring my family members who have passed on particularly my favorite cousin who died a few years ago and was born in October, she would have been 26 this year. Then sitting in watching horror films with my roommate.

Re: Halloween

Re: Halloween

I used to always have candy for the kids but since moving out of the city limits the houses are few and far between ... I might dress up and go to the tavern ... One year I was a farmer and my second ex was a cow ... Udderly silly looking but fun ...

Re: Halloween

I am going to an adults only Samhain party on the 28th, with the wife (who is atheist but finds the idea fun) but not doing anything for Hallowe'en. Too much of a cynic, sorry! A heavily commercialized Christian festival? Nah, thanks though.

My real dislike is the encouragement to eat that great a quantity of sweets. Just the thought makes my teeth ache.
