Halloween Traditions:

[jeffreyab]

At Halloween I like to do the following:

Dress Up in Costume - This year I was a Colonial Marine from the movie "Aliens."

Go to Halloween Parties - made to Erik Kauppi's all the way in Ann Arbor, for the last time ):

Carve a pumpkin - I posted a picture earlier

Give out candy - Oh Henry, Mars and Wunderbars this year

Watch some Halloween themed TV - this year it was "Nightmare Before Christmas"

What are your Halloween traditions?

Every Halloween I get together with Rennie after the trick-or-treaters are gone. Halloween was our first date, so I enjoy spending time with her.

Hiding in the hope that no bratty children knock on my door. ;)

Actually, I've never gotten any trick-or-treaters as long as I've been here - I think the tenant's association does give out candy in the lobby, though when I left for class last night, there was nobody down there, so I don't know if they did it this year or not.

Part of me wanted to go down to Church Street last night after class to check out the costumes (I've never done that, except when Hallowe'en was on a weekend and I was going out anyway), but I hadn't eaten yet and I had taped "House" ("Boston Legal" was also on, but it didn't start until after I got home).

We're rather classic: I always carve up an overly elaborate pumpkin and then Larc and I sit on the porch and hand out candy. This was Coral's first year going door-to-door (just turned two), so this year I took her up and down the block gathering candy.

I usually try to watch something with a Halloween theme as well. This year I relaxed to an interview with a woman talking about her mass-murdering lover.
