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
of course not! that would be very cool! nobody said young adults can't enjoy trick or treating right?Originally Posted by oodlesofpoodles

can't wait to see the picturesOriginally Posted by libby74
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.
IHalloween!
