Oh, and of course I love carving Jack O Lanterns. That pic that Ford posted, I'm going to try to replicate all that this year.

Autumn is an awesome time of year.

^ Agreed. In the part of the world where I live, its the only time of year when we have what I consider nice weather. Cool, crisp, no humidity. Trees are beautiful.

Winter here is brutal, Summer too hot and humid, and Spring to wet, muddy, and unpredictable.

I used to love Halloween as a kid, my family had a Halloween party at my childhood house, back then there were alot of kids. There this one house in the neighborhood, it was very big, I thought it was haunted. I dressed up in elementary school, one year I was a clown, there was a costume contest, I won. I dressed up in high school too, there were a parade, my class went around an elementary school. My mom owed a preschool, I helped the teachers, I dressed up too in my 20s, the teachers threw a Halloween party for the children, I stopped dressing up in 1995, I was 25, I was a good witch.

I've always liked the spookiness of Halloween but my family has never celebrated it. We live up a long driveway on an old farm so we have no neighbours which means we never get trick or treaters either. I do enjoy the scary costumes though

I never really went trick-or-treating. My parents live on a major highway on a road that has no side-walks & steep ditches. My mom would turn the front porch light on thou but everyone else around would have their light turned off even if they normally kept it on at night. A couple neighbor kids might show up but that's it & some years noone would. My mom doesn't even turn the light on nowadays. My parents & grandma used to give me candy thou. My mom sends me a check since I moved out. It's not a lot of money but it's something & can go towards after Halloween candy sales if we catch a good one & buy a lot. My mom used to do a lot of decorating but she does alot less over the years. She's getting older. I never really been into Halloween except for eating the candy I would get(I appreciate the check mom sends me nowadays & I do buy some candy before Halloween, not just after) & I liked watching a few of the classic horror movies but I never been much into the horror genre. I also really liked when my skewls would celebrate Halloween cuz we got to miss class & would get some treats & might have games.

I also really like the band, Helloween

Growing up in the 80s-90s was fun

I started putting up my home-made decorations this weekend. I had a little trouble deciding which windows to display them in, though.

Halloween is ok but Christmas is way better.
