Used to love Halloween as a kid. We live so far out in the styx now it doesn't do any good to decorate, never get any trick or treaters either.  On Halloween we drive (we ride my old bike if it's warm enough) to town to look at the decorations and check out the costumes   then we go back home and watch scarry movies   
You may have to grow older, but you never have to grow up!  |

Nothing, because we don't have it over here. Over here means Europe, North-West.

Nope, Halloween isn´t that big in Europe, unfortunately. That won´t stop me and my family, though! We´re going to have a mini-Halloween at home! We live in the middle of nowhere, so there will be no trick or treating, but my four-year-old daughter will dress up as Jack Skellington. She thinks he´s cute!
Yavanie, you have a beautiful family, indeed! |

I know Anna, depending on your family situation, I guess some families will celebrate it, here most see it as something commercial... We do have St Maarten though, it will be somewhere in November. It was something I never encountered before I came to live here, but kids go from door to door, singing a song accompanied with a lampion. I think it is something alike.

Of course it´s commercial, Rhapsody! And fun!
Here, in Sweden, we visit the cemetaries and light candles on the graves on Halloween (or Alla Helgons Dag) in rememberance of our loved ones who passed away.
Oh, we have St Maarten too, although we call it Mårten Gås. We eat a lot of geese, but there´s no singing.....unless someone gets hammered......  |

Oh I know, but hubby isn't into it so much. And so is most of my family and friends.

Ohh that is very thoughtful! I only know Roman-Catholic churches do this.

LOL, why the geese eating?

I can't rember it all, but it is something about a Saint called Maarten or Martin, who did a lot of great deeds. Anyway some village wanted him as bishop. He had no desire to be bishop, so he tried to hide among a bunch of geese, but they betrayed him. Hence the geese eating. That is how I remember it anyway.

My guess at Yavannie's family Halloween: Feanor and Nerdanel; Aragorn, Faramir and Frodo?
Halloween for college students is a little strange. We can't really trick-or-treat and there's no place on campus to gather for a party type of thing. (They try to tell us it's a dry campus, but there are always those intent on any excuse to get plastered.) Most partiers drive to Columbus for Ohio State halloween parties. The next town over has an old maximum-security prison that they deck out as a haunted house and people go to that... a lot. Then there are dorks like me who dress up in Halloween costumes and wander through the dorms. I actually gave out candy though, kind of reverse- Trick-or-Treating. Here are my roomates and me in last year's costumes: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a7/NeumeIndil/scan1.jpg
(Ignore the pic at the bottom right. It was from a show that happened to end up on the same roll of film).
I might do that again, but I'm also doing a candle-lighting since we lost my grandmother in March. Then, who knows? As long as I get a cherry Tootsie-Pop out of the deal somehow, I'm a happy camper.
