     My favorite thing about Halloween is giving the candy to the kids and seeing the looks on their faces when they get it.

     My favorite part of Halloween is seeing all the creativity from the kids *and* the parents. As a parent of a now-adult who spent year after year creating Halloween costumes, I *love* watching the little kids come by.

     How thin the veil is!

     My favorite thing about Halloween is the celebration of life, even after death, and remembering that all things come from, not only nature, but life itself. Everything is breathing. Everything is living. And even after that breath stops, we still celebrate it in life. Death is a very powerful thing, but so is life, so they should both be celebrated. So, that's what I enjoy about it.

     I love seeing all the kids dressed up and what new things they put together for a costume. That’s the fun part. We have buckets of candy for all the kids, so we're the popular place! We put out our real skeleton every year, too, which seems to be a big attraction.

     I love carving pumpkins and seeing them lit up with their candles late at night.

     I love Halloween because it gives me a legitimate excuse to play dress up and make believe. We get to escape into something new and other worldly.

     My favorite thing about Halloween is haunted houses. And the magic of Halloween... it's like the magic of Christmas.

     I love the creative outlet Halloween provides. But more than that, I love the crisp autumn air and the feeling of the thinning veil.
