Page 1 of Halloween soon!

I do love Halloween, always disappointed as a kid that it didn't seem to be really celebrated in the UK.

This year, I grew my very own pumpkin, I'll post a picture later.

But it needs to be a week, not a single day thing! Witches and evil spirits really need to get their act together and take a leaf out of Jesus' book.

Did he do an autobiography or was it ghost written.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary

I loved halloween when i lives stateside, by far the most fun holiday, no idea how they get their houses quite so spooky, the don't seem to spend that much but do take an incredible amount of time and the whole neighbourhoods seem to be in sync with it.....they don't really do trick or treating i didn't think more parties and much more adult themed also.....best thing is couple of stores really have amazing and cheap costumes....aaahh memories :)

Bah humbug!

I absolutely hate halloween. We never celebrated as kids, my kids aren't allowed to go trick or treating, they don't go to halloween parties. They do carve a pumpkin, but that's the be all and end all of it.

Aside from little "darlings" banging on my door all night demanding sweets, I hate the idea of celebrating evil as though we welcome it in (my dad always said "if you dance with the devil, you invite him in" and it kind of followed us allon as we grew up), I hate the tatty decorations they"ve stuck up at work today (which they attempted to put up behind the checkout where there is about 3' of spare space for walking to the lottery machine during our busiest period of the day today.)

I hate that I have to work halloween and will spend the day defending my choice not to dress up and celebrate something I disagree with to people who will decide (like last year) that I am a grumpy b***h and am spoiling everyone's fun, despite my joining in with every other activity we've had at work throughout the year. I hate that my day at work will be filled with terrified children hiding from staff dressed up in "spooky" costumes that are far too scary for most children (especially as we're on a main drag to a local infant school). I hate that no matter how hard I try to keep them away from it, some inconsiderate sod will think they're being funny at some point in the day jump out at/sneak up on/generally be around a corner where they're not expecting it and I will be up til all hours calming nightmares and tears. I hate that my children are too young to explain how I feel to them properly so they understand I'm not just being mean.

Roll on 1st November when there will be many reduced sweets at work and it'll all be over!

(I'll finish being a grumpy cow now, sorry folks)

of all the stuff we 'celebrate' that never actually happened at least this one is a lot of fun.

The only thing that doesn't travel from the states so well is the weather, traipsing around the estate in the cold and rain is not as much fun as a sunny evening in Florida.

Oh for Fawkes sake let's get Freddie and Michael out of the way before we deal with the terrorist bombing.
