I celebrated it once when I...I hate Hallowe'en. I celebrated it once when I was three, but that's it. When I have kids they won't celebrate it. <br /><br />I will however agree to work the Hallowe'en skate at work and organize the activities... I always get that shift because everyone else wants to go celebrate so they book the day off. I do refuse to dress up for it though despite it being encouraged. They are perfectly okay with that. <br /><br />My siblings don't like it either but they will go out to hallowe'en events or dress up for work with their friends, but me, I don't feel like I can. There is a LOT that goes on that night... if we walk the train tracks the next morning they are always littered with dead animals, murdered with fire crackers or in rituals etc. Some squirrels, foxes, etc... some people's pets, cats etc. It's terrible and I just cannot "celebrate" on that day. <br /><br />I sometimes give candy to the kids that come to the door, but I probably won't answer this year. My work shift runs until late and I don't have a lot of money to buy it, that's all.<br /><br />For us, thanksgiving is over... I'm Canadian so it was a couple weeks ago, and since I skip Hallowe'en, the next big holiday is Christmas and I'm totally ready! Last year it was actually on Hallowe'en that I got the chance to put up the Christmas tree, my brother and his girlfriend were at a hallowe'en party and left early to help me so I have pictures of them in costume putting up my tree haha. Don't know when I'll get it done this year but hopefully in the next couple weeks.Teresa Dawnhttp://naivaze.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348659783396465896.post-37008263731341620122010-10-12T14:56:56.724-05:002010-10-12T14:56:56.724-05:00I look at Halloween as just a fun night to dress u...I look at Halloween as just a fun night to dress up and get candy too. My kids loved trick or treating and it was a real neighborhood gathering. It was fun to catch up with everyone walking around. <br /><br />Happy Sewing!Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727615822243830106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348659783396465896.post-6374674931819335492010-10-11T23:20:24.517-05:002010-10-11T23:20:24.517-05:00I bet your little grand daughter will be adorable ...I bet your little grand daughter will be adorable as Minnie Mouse!! I always struggled with Halloween when my kids were growing up, wanting them to enjoy the fun, but not knowing if it was the best thing trying to live a life as a Christ follower. My present pastor though summed it up so well and said every single day belongs to Jesus, he redeemed them all when he died on the cross and rose again. My kids are long grown but it doesn't bother me as much to see Halloween decorations out and about like it would have in years past. our church does a festival where they invite all to come, great outreach and lots of free candy! I think it is for the most part innocent fun<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348659783396465896.post-3410417944850784412010-10-11T21:26:53.572-05:002010-10-11T21:26:53.572-05:00Yep, we go trick or treating around here too!
