Okay Halloween is just a week away, time to prepare for your second favourite pagan holiday. Do any of you put up any deocrations or carve any pumpkins?

We tend to just carve a pumpkin and put it in the wiundow at the front of the house to let people know we're giving out treats. We don't really get a lot maybe less than ten and usually have tons of sweets left over.

We're still undecided what treats to give this year. Here's a list of treats that most (American) children don't want to receive on halloween. I think only pb has tried all of them. Their smarties look like those love hearts. Can't believe baked goods made the list, I would have loved delicious cupcakes or cookies.

So any recommendations on what treats to give or not to give for halloween? Are any of the freeola parents (@ngel, pb, dragonlance) taking their kids out to bug the neighbours again this year?

Ill be shutting the blinds and turning out the lights. I'm not giving them anything, they vandalise my car all year round then expect me to dish out free sweets.

Parents tell their kids not to accept sweets from strangers, except on halloween of course.

Last year I noticed a few signs that the police gave out to tell trick or treaters to get lost. I think a lot of people will only come to your door if you have decorations or a pumpkin on display.

I'm still undecided on what to carve this year. I dont know whether the little kids around here will appreciate something like this

I'll probably go to quite a few things from now until the weekend, and only have a couple of costume ideas. 1: Ed Balls, as the man is bloody terrifying; all it takes is a printout to use as a mask, and wearing slightly formal clothes for once. 2: Generic zombie-age as I have facepain lying around from previous fancy dress nights.

Oh well, if I have nothing much to dress up as, I won't be out spending large amounts of money on drinking and so forth... gives me more time to study at least...

My plans of halloween is trying to get home after work without being harrassed by childen, chavs and face the bombardment of eggs on me. I'll probably switch off all the lights in the house and sit it out. Just like every year i guess.
