So, just a normal year then? I thoroughly intend to scare off aforementioned children (not yours, mind you) not with scary costumes but with eggs and waterbombs. That'll teach 'em to beg

I already celebrated the holiday last night as Indiana Jones. Went out drinking downtown.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

The usual, kids, candy....and then.....illicit substances and general debauchery hopefully in the middle of nowhere until I pass out. I've got some things to say to the wind...lol.

I'm not doing anything. I'm too poor and too busy for such things. Also: I am a wet blanket. Maybe next year when I'm not writing papers.

Kids are going to be vampires, either hubby or I will take them trick-or-treating with the other person staying home to give out candy. It's going to be a muddy halloween, I think hubby should do the trick-or-treating.

I didn't really grow up doing holloween. My family did it a little some years but it was never a serious holiday in my house. It was treated more like a minor holiday like valentines or st. Patrick's day. Now as an adult I don't do it all.
