Halloween is only a week away, and I'm getting really, really fired up to go trick-or-treating. There are exactly 23 people that NDT and I have counted in our neighborhood that are celebrating Halloween (if you count us too). So, I have some questions:
1. Do you celebrate Halloween?
Yes!
2. What are you dressing up as?
Hermionie Granger from Harry Potter.
3. What's your jack'o'lantern going to be?
A regular old, classic jack'o'lantern face-triangle eyes and nose, smiling mouth with teeth.
4. How many houses in your neighborhood, counting yours, are going to be celebrating Halloween? (Best guess is fine, the only reason I know is because we moved here at the end of February and I wanted to see how many people are celebrating.)
23.
5. What's your favorite kind of candy?
Snickers/Twix/Kit-Kats/Tootsie Rolls/Tootsie Roll Pops/Heath Bars/Werther's Caramels. :) *drools*
Also...
Something I have observed: The people with really awesome (meaning scary) decorations often have the best candy, the people with lots of decorations (not really awesome/scary, just lots) often have kind of bad candy, and the people with simple decorations often have really good candy. Do you agree or disagree?
Here's your blank form to fill out:

OK, Wolfgir67, here's what this Admin has to say:
1. Do you celebrate Halloween? yes
2. What are you dressing up as? a wizard
3. What's your jack'o'lantern going to be? It's a fake plug-in one. I think the face is traditionally friendly/smiley.
4. How many houses in your neighborhood, counting yours, are going to be
celebrating Halloween? (Best guess is fine, the only reason I know is
because we moved here at the end of February and I wanted to see how
many people are celebrating.) Lots. I think over half the houses or more.
5. What's your favorite kind of candy? plain dark chocolate, dark chocolate Reeses peanut butter cups

decorations (not really awesome/scary, just lots) often have kind of bad
candy, and the people with simple decorations often have really good
candy. Do you agree or disagree? I can't say, because I haven't been trick-or-treating for years. I stay home and give out candy. But some people around here have lots of really awesome outdoor decorations!
Thanks for inviting me to participate!

1. Do you celebrate Halloween? YES :)
2. What are you dressing up as? Nerfertiti, aka Egyption Pharoah
3. What's your jack'o'lantern going to be? Harry Potter, it was on one of those tiny pumpkins, I started it, messed up, so now Harry has no back. He has his scar and glasses and a really cool mouth.
4. How many houses in your neighborhood, counting yours, are going to be celebrating Halloween? (Best guess is fine, the only reason I know is because we moved here at the end of February and I wanted to see how many people are celebrating.) In my neighborhood, there are like, 4 people, so none of them celebrate it. So I always go to my friend's house, but I don't know how many people are there, almost the whole neighborhood.
5. What's your favorite kind of candy? Crunch/Twix/Kit-Kat/Skittles/Everything on Chocolate ;)

Do you agree or disagree? I agree, but I have also noticed that if you compliment them on their decorations or pumpkins, they will be really happy and give you more candy!

Vida: I totally understand where you're coming from. Halloween can be associated with many evil things. But that doesn't mean that the people who celebrate it are evil. All I do anyway is dress up and get candy. I don't do anything else, like go to parties or haunted houses, or other bad things teens do on Halloween. How is that so bad? Maybe if you believe in the voodoo and all that nonsense, then I'd say that's evil.
Actually, I was just watching a show on the origin of Halloween on the History channel and it was absolutely nothing like what you said. There are many different accounts, and I don't believe anyone truly knows where exactly Halloween came from. The show was saying that the Church had a lot to do with Halloween because we are the ones that celebrate All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day. *shrugs* Who knows! But there is nothing wrong with ringing a doorbell to get candy.
@Wolfgirl: two big Reeses. I was in heaven. :) + more candy, but when you have Reeses, it doesn't matter. (:

Okay, maybe the History channel is a little right. But do you know where the dressing up comes from??? Do you know where the getting candy (trick or treating) come from????
You write what you think and post it on here (DtE) and I will copy - paste - and send to my mom so we can print it and really read it!!!
P.S. I am sorry if I seem a little rude and mean!!

Here's your blank form to fill out:
1. Do you celebrate Halloween? Yes!
2. What are you dressing up as? Marie Anttionete. <3! She never said any thing about "Let them eat cake," that was just an author a century later. And yes, my friends do 'torture' me about that.
3. What's your jack'o'lantern going to be? I didn't have time. :(
4. How many houses in your neighborhood, counting yours, are going to be celebrating Halloween? (Best guess is fine, the only reason I know is because we moved here at the end of February and I wanted to see how many people are celebrating.) I really dunno... most.
5. What's your favorite kind of candy? Three Musketeers!
