Coolcat---Day of the Dead right? When I took spanish in high school we learned about it and even got to eat some mexican pastries...they were yummy!! But our teacher had made a type of altar thing with painted skulls, food, and other things I cant remember, it was really cool.
I will be working on Halloween night
, very sad about it because its tradition that me and some friends get together to watch Ghost Hunters live all night. I dont get off until 12:30am soooo technically Halloween will be over
. We have decorations inside and outside, we have cobwebs everywhere outside, a couple tombstones, a hanging spider and a few other decorations, along with spooky halloween music playing in the background
I will be working on Halloween night
YES the special table is the ALTAR as well you said....I doubth someone know the word here!...Originally Posted by JuneBugBear07

maybe you and your friends could do it 12am on october 31 so that would be the first thing you would do on Halloween
it's nice to know that you have wonderful decorations in your house. so cool!

I wanted to dress up and go out, BUT... I got really sick Tuesday and have been in bed since.
I highly doubt I'll be up to going out Saturday since it's already Friday and I still feel crummy. So... me and the boyfriend are going to get some pumpkins and carve them. Hopefully I will be able to mange that...
I'll be dressing up and passing out candy with Cody and watching horror movies with my two friends that are comming over. I may possibly take my sister trick or treating, depending on whether or not her friend comes over too.

Making up a nice dinner and the in-laws are coming over - since it's Saturday. My MIL intends to stay and hand out some candy since she can't at her home.

We're hosting a Halloween party for a tiny group of close friends (in addition to handing out candy to 200+ kids--yep--our record was 225!).
At 10 PM, we're going to a public Halloween party at an inn nearby. We do this every year (it's usually the closest Saturday to Halloween).
I don't have as many decs as usual, as I was very sick for over a week this month. I'm on vacation today, and taking a break from baking for my party tomorrow.

I have done a pumpkin with the children thats about it, I am in England and its not really safe here for children to go trick or treating anymore and I don't open the door to them very often as they are usually 16 year old yobs and sweets aren't good enough for them nowadays, they want cash !! Its such a shame as I love halloween, here's my pumpkin anyway
Nothing here. Got home from work at 1am Halloween morning, went to bed, up at 5am for a cat show. It's 9.40pm Halloween night and there's nobody around.

The front porch and yard are decorated; I really should try to get a decent pic or 2 to post. There are decorations in the back yard, as well. Finished carving my 3rd pumpkin yesterday, got my candy all bagged up and ready to go, went for a walk in my favorite cemetery yesterday.
Tonight, I'll follow tradition and leave a light burning in the window all night---the belief is the spirits of the dead are returning home and need a light to show them the way. I'll also bury an apple, to feed them on their journey.
Hopefully we'll get quite a few trick or treaters, but I doubt it. Afterwards I'll go outside, sit in my back yard, and think of ways to scare myself.
