Hey Pandas, What Do You Like About Halloween? (Closed)

Halloween! I love this holiday so much, what about you? What is the most fun part about it for you?

Freaking ALL OF IT. The crisp weather, the house decorations, carving pumpkins, eating pumpkins, watching scary movies, the adrenaline, the costumes, how it always makes people laugh even when they scream. All of it. It’s like the one time of year I can really let my freak flag fly without standing out in a crowd.

Decorating the yard with a cemetery, skeletons, ghosts, fog, pumpkins, lighting, the works. But no gore or things that jump out at you. I want the kids to enjoy it, not run away. I'm 61 and started doing this when I was a teenager.

We do something similar, but we feature zombies in the graveyard. We have 2 foggers, 6 projectors and at least 4 zombie humans and a zombie pupper. Older kids get a thrill chasing their candy down in the graves and we have a treat trolly that delivers treats to the younger crowd. It's fun to watch them grow up and decide they are now brave enough for the zombies. The zombies aren't overly terrifying and adjust their skill level for the person in the yard lol.

Halloween's a little different where I live ... by October 31st, I'm not surprised if we have snow at that point! All jokes aside, however, I would have to say I like costumes best. I love the autumn (sometimes with a sprinkle of winter) feeling, but being able to be someone new or see others act as someone new is so fun.

I love dressing up and getting candy. My favorite thing to do is after I get all the candy, I like to trade candy with my friends and my brother so we can get the best things and not the things we don't want.

already posted this on another site but here we go,

So recently my dog has been getting less and less enthusiastic about going outside with me and trick or treating but recently, I got a
Cocker spaniel and she is absolutely in love with her. She is so much more excited to go trick or treating now that she has a friend.

I already wrote an answer like this on another post, but I'm REALLY enthusiastic about Halloween, so...
I don't have one single favorite thing. I love ALL of it. It's my favorite holiday, higher than Holi! There are costumes, there's trick-or-treating (which I'm sadly growing out of), there's scaring other people, getting scared yourself, watching horror movies, all the decorations......
I could go on and on. Everything about Halloween is the BEST!

you may grow out of trick-or-treating, but you can still dress up to hand out candy

Love the decorations, they are getting so amazing, these days. I think that I love, the most, is November 1st-Half Priced Candy ~ that actually, does make it to Customized Advent Calendars, Christmas Stockings, and additions to wrapped packages (a change from Candy Canes)

Putting up my Halloween Christmas tree! I see my twin sister and brother-in-law once a year over Christmas because they live halfway across the world and I would celebrate the countdown to seeing them by putting up my Christmas tree but 4 years ago she made a trip home in October and I wanted to celebrate the countdown, so now a new tradition has been born! My tree is decked out with a plastic raven skeleton, orange lights, spooky ornaments and orange garland.

Halloween comes from the Celtic fire festival Beltane, where people would dress up as monsters so that the real monsters couldn't distinguish who was who and thus couldn't kill or curse you. They believed that Beltane was the day when the spirit world and the skin world were closest, so spirits and monsters could cross over.

I celebrate Beltane as well as Halloween. I do Beltane for religious reasons and Halloween for my friends. My favourite part about Halloween is the costumes, and my favourite part of Beltane is the massive bonfires bigger than you.

correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Halloween come from Samhain? Beltane is in the spring

Hello Pandas! My name is Ieva, though it's often mistaken for the word 'Leva,' and in Lithuanian, it means 'loser' (insert the pain emoji). While I don't take offense if you accidentally call me a loser, I thought I'd share something interesting with you, which I also do professionally at work.Anywayyy, my favorite part here is introducing you to creative people who deserve just as much recognition as famous celebrities. Besides that, I also enjoy memes and funny, lighthearted posts, and occasionally, I find myself drawn to a bit of internet drama.

I personally couldn't care less for the holiday, but I love how excited others get for it. I like seeing how people get in touch with their inner creative to dress up and celebrate. And the way adults just sort of let go of the stress of daily life and have fun...that makes me smile.
