The children and their excitement and their costumes. I like to see the imagination of the grown ups, too....

I follow the directions on the box of jell-o but I use alcohol in place of the water. Go to the halloween section at the grocery store and look for decoritive ice trays. I found bats and pumpkins one year. Pour the mixture into the trays till set. Enjoy!

That sounds simple enough, I'll give it a shot (pun intended,,,). Thanks a heap! Oh, do you bring the alcohol to a boil, too or just stir until dissolved....!

I love Halloween!............................It's fantastic! I love making costumes...over the top costumes. I love buying the treats...the one's every child loves. I love carving pumpkins... as many as possible. I love decorating my house... the scarier (in a cute way) the better. I love the children coming to the door... I love how my son reacts to the event. I love how my, "Oh so very serious" husband has joined in the excitement of it all (He buys me the most gigantic pumpkins and ones in different colours!)... I love the sounds of children running up and down the streets having the best time of their lives...I love making goodie bags...I love the parents smiling at their children and presenting them as the cutest children in the world (which they are of course)....Halloween should be Halloweek! It is the more fun than a barrel of monkeys!

The thrill of waiting for dark, so I can get dressed up and go trick-or-treating door to door,...... and I am in my forties!!!!!! Of course I don't trick or treat anymore , but I do still feel the thrill for the kids every Halloween day!

I find it scary - I always think of the film "To kill a Mockingbird". It doesn't seem to be such a big deal these days in the UK but I love to see kids enjoying such things - just great - especially the treat bit but I just know they enjoy the tricks.

Certainly, as a child, I loved getting all the candy!
BUT nothing can compare to the joy of sharing the pumpking carving and making the costumes and the excitement of my children. Being a Mom at Halloween is my favorite part of Halloween!

You are right , but if you are careful and stay with your kids it can be alot of fun!!!!!

commented 13 years ago

michmar118

Yes, DNanners, it is fun watching the kids interact with the homeowners and candy-givers! Love it when THEY dress up and and give a little scare to the kids. Makes it more fun for everyone, and the candle-lit hollowed out pumpkins with frightening faces, and the scary music blaring from some houses........
