Oh yes, the costumes are fun.
Especially if you go to a costume party.
Then there's the town Halloween parade, here...
Some people here seem to forget it's Halloween, though. I've seen parents running into a store to pick up some last minute items for their kids' class party, wearing costumes and other people staaaring at them... the librarians in town dress up, and get stared at... maybe some people are convinced it's only for kids? *shrug*
Then down the road a ways from here, they hold huge block parties with elaborate decorations, and crowds of kids walk and run wildly through the neighborhood in costumes and light sticks and such, music playing, parents getting free hot cider... My kids and I used to go to those, it was fun. Like in the old days when kids could go trick or treating without worrying about wierdos messing about with them, or spiking the candy.
Okay, enough from me. Back to other stuff.
