HALLOWEEN

Halloween is literally my favourite holiday in existence, I get excited and do happy dances the second I see decorations hitting stores. My whole house gets decorated and there's a distinct Halloween undertone in all the meals a prepare. Even better though is my birthday lands only 5 days before Halloween. This year though I was supposed to go as Belle to a party with a friend who was going to be Pocahontas, but since her boy friend won't be John Smith (lame) we're going to do matching pin up styles, military pin up and navy pin up... possibly zombie. I have a huge birthday bash the weekend before too, which is of course will also be costume.

That's awesome, and I feel the same way. Like I saw them putting out the Halloween candy at Walmart and already scored some bag'a'bones Cheetos! SO stoked beyond belief and I put in my request for Halloween off, and hopefully it will go through cause it's my ONLY Holiday I care about I swear. And I totally eat so much pumpkin in Autumn it's sickening, we have pumpkin curry soup, pumpkin ravioli, and then of course a million sweet things full of pumpkin. I LOVE PUMPKIN SO MUCH! I think pin-ups will work really well, and yes definitely go for zombie!
 
It's pumpkin everything here too, pumpkin soup, pumpkin muffins, breads, pies, cakes, coffees... everything pumpkin. Oh and we have crab-apple every thing too and caramel treats made from scratch. I love to bake during the fall so my house smells like freshly baked apple and pumpkin goodies.

I love halloween and this time of the year, so much me and my husband had a day of the dead wedding November 1st complete with sugar skull face paint for the whole wedding party, and a trick or treat station for the wedding favours. We had little boxes with our names and wedding date on them with a whole table of treats to pick from. It was fantastic, pumpkins were the main decorations with one on every table, and costume was completely allowed.
 
That is amazing! I've always dreamed of a Halloween wedding, I want a big poofy purple and black wedding dress soooo bad! And I know I want to do it out in a forest in fall with all the orange leaves and stuff, it would be amazing. But those are all such cute ideas! Sounds like an amazing wedding! <3
 
I had a black pin up dress, with orange heels. A black tophat I made myself with two big orange lillies on it, and a black veil. My flowers were deep purple with a couple tiny orange pumpkins. It was wonderful.

I lucked out my hubby is as big on halloween as I am so he was totally down for it. Fun was had by all. I'm so excited for Halloween again and autumn, I can't get enough of that season.

This was one of the wedding photos... unfortunately it snowed a ton that day (blizzard by the evening) but the snow made for some pretty photos.
 
To be honest, I've never trick-or-treated before. My mom doesn't want me to because it's dangerous, but when I was little I gave people candy whenever they knocked on our door...I don't do that anymore, though. But for Halloween, I'm thinking of throwing an ACNL party and hosts giveaways and stuff like that.

I used to love trick or treating, I can't any more can't even take my kids my hubby has too. I have a condition called cold urticaria, basically I am allergic to the cold, epipen and all... so going out in the evening unless from one building to the next isn't an option. I hand out candies though in costume and decorate my house real nice for everyone to enjoy, my decorations tend to go up around the first of October though lol.

I did a big giveaway for Easter one year, it was a lot of fun!
 
Every year my friends and I would dress up as a group from history any if there's a guy I always play him XD Last year I was Julius Caesar but my favorite was when we did an Egyptian theme, I was Anubus!
 
omg that looks so fun and cute ahh



im so pumped for halloween and fall in general i want cold weather and skeletons
i love the atmosphere during october it is when i am at my maximum potential every other time of the year is sad time

Believe it or not I totally hate the cold, but autumn is by far my favourite. It's just cold enough I can deal, amazing colours, smells and food, halloween, my birthday and I agree just the general atmosphere. I am at my best then too, it's like the evening of the year when everything is getting ready for winters long night. I am most wired at this time during the day too, while everyone is getting ready for slumber I'm bouncing of the wall with a million awesome ideas lol.
 
So there is a really neat haunted house in my area and they're looking for help and I am awfully tempted but I would probably only be able to help on my days off and it might take away from my own little spooky room at home... so I am really unsure of what to do. =[
 
Would love to have a blast this year, we hardly do anything here. Probably because a lot of people are grown-up or go dancing to house/techno places, but really I wouldn't mind just chucking candy and booze with some nice people :)
 
I don't really do anything for Halloween, it will probably be the same this year too.

I could have written all of this myself! (Except my birthday isn't in fall, it's in winter - blah) I feel like the new year for me begins in fall - I always get so many new ideas! Every year I begin to fall in love with fall more and more...
 
We don't really celebrate Halloween here and I probably won't be doing anything. My mum will most likely buy sweets in case we do get people trick or treating, and I'm most likely going to eat them all since we won't get anybody knocking on our door. :rolleyes: It's because we don't decorate our house anymore...

And I don't fancy going to any Halloween parties since I hate parties. And I will most definitely NOT be watching any horror films unless I don't feel like sleeping for a few weeks or so. :rolleyes:

This is the last thing I wore for Halloween a couple years ago:

Wear costumes forever! I've got some of the stuff for my yipyip costume already, bought a hula hoop that I'm going to cut up for the mouth mechanism, found some good colored blankets for the bodies, cheap fishnets cause we're gunna be sexy yips, already bought the foam balls for the eyes and the pipe-cleaners for the antenna and everything. I just need to find a good see-through black material for the mouths
 
I totally agree wear costumes forever, I'll be 25 this October and I already have my halloween costume. My best friend has an similar one as we always pick a theme to work with. =) I love it. There is no age limit to having fun and dressing up in my opinion.

Fall really is like my new year too. I just love the lively feeling I get around now, with so many ideas and so much energy to accomplish them.. then the holidays pass and my energy seems to pass with them lol.
