Pass out candy.

I'm going to one, not hosting one.

Hrm, that's a toughie. I'll have to get back to you on that.

I don't know that I had one.

Starburst. All of them.

Some are offensive and some are people being too sensitive. My only real hard line on costumes are "sexy" ones for teens/tweens. Nope, never okay.

Yes. Alice in Wonderland.

No. My dog would lose her mind.

Not really. I could never compete with the folks in my neighborhood, anyway. I put out just enough so kids know I have candy.

My kids will run off w/their friends and try to get candy. They're teens and tall so I don't know how much luck they'll have. I may go out w/hubby for some live music and wear a witch hat, but that'll be the extent of it.

Pass out candy!!!

Heck yes! Except I'm trick or treating with the Skids,(and don't really have friends here lol) so probably isn't going to happen...

ALL OF THEM. And the plain old horror ones too...

A vampire, even had the little blood capsules so it could be dripping down my face...

Reece's... I have a weakness for chocolate and peanut butter...

Naw, it's only offensive if you decide it is imho

Nope. I go gorey... oops!

I bought a shark fin to go on my one dogs harness once... t became apparent about three seconds in that wasn't gonna work...

SDs have every other Halloween b/t BM and DH. This year they are with BM.
Last year they were with us and went to our small town for the town trick or treat, they didn't get much candy. I told them the kids in our neighborhood were showing up with huge bags heavy with treats (we live in an isolated area and ours is one of the only two real "neighborhoods" were people can just let the kids loose).
We pass out handfuls.

Adult Halloween Party- Yes or No?
NO. Although one of SD13's friends parents are having a combined party...however DH has not given me any information about this even if he wants to go. I don't care to go since it's most kid/teen centered. I will offer to have SD11 and her friend over to our house instead.

Favorite Halloween movie?
Don't have one.

Do you trick or treat or pass out candy? Take my kiddo trick or treating.

Adult Halloween Party- Yes or No?- It's for adults and kids at my SIL's house every year.

Favorite Halloween movie? Nightmare before Christmas

Favorite Halloween costume from when you were a kid? An alien

Favorite candy to find in a Halloween basket? Can't eat any of it. I used to love those peanut butter things that everyone hates in the black and orange wrappers.

"Offensive" Halloween costumes- offensive or people are being "snowflakes"? Cultural appropriation costumes should just not happen.

Ever worn a "sl*tty" Halloween costume? Not really

Do you dress up your pets for Halloween? No

Do you decorate your house for Halloween? No because we go elsewhere for Halloween parties. I'd like to decorate, but having kids, everything I own gets broken eventually, so it's not worth the money to buy decor.

Just a note... cultural appropriation is not always the case. Sometimes it is an assumption. For example: my great-great grandfather was 100% Cherokee, so I am 1/16. I may not LOOK like I have Cherokee blood (I have the cheekbones) because I'm blonde, but I do. And I HAVE chosen to honor that part of my heritage when my grade school had a parade with all of the children portraying/celebrating part of their heritage. It was awesome! Smile

Not really cultural appropriation, but my dad grew up with Navajo kids. He learned the language and still speaks it. It's a hoot to see the looks on younger Navajos when a white man speaks to their elders in their tongue.

Do you trick or treat or pass out candy? My boys have decided they are too old at 12 and 14, so we will pass out candy and small items for those who can't have sugary stuff.

Adult Halloween Party- Yes or No? We were invited to an ABC party, but probably aren't going due to alcohol being served.

Favorite Halloween movie? Charlie Brown Halloween!

Favorite Halloween costume from when you were a kid? Laura Ingalls...had the braids and the pinafore and everything.

Favorite candy to find in a Halloween basket? Tootsie Rolls.

"Offensive" Halloween costumes- offensive or people are being "snowflakes"? None.

Ever worn a "sl*tty" Halloween costume? Yup. Trashy Cowgirl back in the days before I got married.

Do you dress up your pets for Halloween? Nope. We did take the Snek out last year....but he's in shed right now.

Do you decorate your house for Halloween? No. My neighbor's yard looks like Halloween vomited all over it.

Do you trick or treat or pass out candy? this year, passing out candy

Adult Halloween Party- Yes or No? went last year, was maybe going to host one this year, but didn't end up doing it

Favorite Halloween movie? Great Pumpkin

Favorite Halloween costume from when you were a kid? not the best costume, but the most fun was the last year I went trick or treating...my friends and I decided to make ghost costumes out of bedsheets. While trick or treating, we realized how difficult it was to walk around safely in those (especially if your eye holes were not cut correctly), hilarity ensued.

Favorite candy to find in a Halloween basket? kit kat

"Offensive" Halloween costumes- offensive or people are being "snowflakes"? I think there are some legitimately offensive Halloween costumes (i.e. costumes that try to make light of terrible things, like dressing up as Hitler), however, I think getting offended over a Moana or Mulan or other Disney costume because it is supposedly making light of a certain culture is a bit much.

Ever worn a "sl*tty" Halloween costume? no

Do you dress up your pets for Halloween? don't have any pets

Do you decorate your house for Halloween? a little...wanted to do more this year, but time got away from me.
