Halloween isn't really big where I live, but I remember one year when I was little, I dressed up as a witch and went trick or treating with my siblings all through the house.
Cat and Bones are just awesome :), though I'm a newcomer too and haven't read all of the books yet.
Thanks for the giveaway, ummmm but is it international?
Back when you trusted what your neighbors gave you, the route was always the same. The neighbor who gave you pennies, the neighbor who made popcorn balls, the neighbor who made chocolate chip cookies, the neighbor who had the pomagrante tree…this was while we walked to the school for the Halloween Carnaval, where my sister always won a cake in the cakewalk. Miss those days!
My favorite memory was filling up the grocery bags full of candy and going back for more.
My Dad was posted to th US for 4 years when I was a kid, so Halloween was all new and exciting to me. Imagine people just giving you lollies for knocking at their door- who knew!. So being new to this my Mum cut out an old sheet and dressed me up as a ghost. It was just floaty with a string (or something around my neck and eyes cut out. I was 8 y.o. at the time and when I finally got a look at myself in my costume, I burst out crying because I scared myself.
Several family members show up at our house for Halloween. First, we have so many kids in our neighborhood, and they are absolutely precious! Second, we usually roast marshamallows on the fire pit outside and tell scary stories, then go inside and watch Van Helsing. I'm not sure why, but that's been our movie that we really like to watch on Halloween. Not that I mind….I can look at Hugh Jackman anytime. 😉
My favorite memories of Halloween were the parties that we had when I was growing up. Everybody dressed up and went trick or treating at dark for an hour or 2, then we all went back to the house and just enjoyed ourselves. All of us kids would play games and have a lot of fun.
When we were kids we went to church and had a blast with the cake walk and tic tac toe, and fishing games. We had facepainting and it was on halloween, at night. I just loved it. We also had a costume contest.
Best part of trick or treating as a kid was ‘sorting’ the loot afterward! Thanks for the giveaway.
When I was little, we lived in a townhouse/apartment complex. Almost all of the houses would do something grand and my dad would take us around. There was one guy though, he was a lot older, but he always had the best house. He would make it real spooky on the outside, play creepy music, spiderwebs, the whole shebang. When you'd ring the doorbell he'd open the door and always have the silliest costume! Giant shoes, shirt, pants, you name it. It was so great to have it be spooky/scary on the outside and then inane silliness when he opened the door! I miss having that kind of trusting environment for kids to trick or treat in. Now that I'm older, I want to trick or treat and find Bones behind one of those doors. Spade would be nice too…Ian…Vlad..oh I'll take them all. Who needs candy? 🙂
I have tons of halloween memories from when I was little. It used to be my favorite time of the year because you got to dress up, get candy, and hang out with your friends. What else would be better to a kid? I almost always dressed up as a witch and we always went out with our pillow cases. Most times we would get it at least three quarters of the way full! Now that I'm older I usually spend halloween taking my little brother out trick or treating. He's 7 but still wont go knock on the doors by himself so I usually go up with him and since I'm in costume often times I get candy as well, BONUS! 🙂
I always loved having parties at halloween. we own a party center and we would always go all out for decorations.
We always dressed up to take our children Trick or Treating and give out treats. Decorating the house inside and out was always such fun when the children were younger. We live in the country now and have had trick or treaters only 3 or 4 times in the past 18 years. Only once was it not our grandson. The years I was a children's librarian were lots of fun. I had a ball decorating the library and putting on a Halloween program.
I remember going "Trick & Treat" with the kids next all 10, and taking a
pillow case to hold all the candy..
We had enough cany for 2 months, 'til Christmas
I remember I was a clown for 5 yrs straight b/c my mom had the makeup LOL…so either she wore clown makeup or saved the stuff from last year! LOL…j/k she was just to cheap to buy new, at least I didn't get a pillow case like my brothers.
Hmm, I think one of my favorite Halloween memories is when I lived in Nevada and my gay friend Stefan and I went to one of those really big haunted houses in Reno (near the casinos) there was a guy with a chain saw and for once I wasn't scared in a haunted house but Stefan was shrieking like a little girl behind me and I actually found it to be pretty amusing. I'm obsessed with Cat and Bones, I want more and more and more in that series 🙂 I hope it never ever ends 😀 What a cute little poem to go with it.. I'd definitely like to see more of Bones Bod but honestly, Cat kind of scares me so I'll just drool from affair if that's okay 🙂 hehe!

Thanks for such a cute giveaway!
Well in Australia we don't actually do Halloween, but one October my friend Katrina had a Halloween party since her birthday is in October anyway. Part of the decorations included small pumpkin shaped candles that were placed evenly along her wooden fence. This was not a very smart idea as we soon discovered when we came outside and found that the fence was on fire. Maybe there's a reason we don't do Halloween here!
I remember as a kid going around our neighborhood early because I was young, but also so I could go over to my cousin's house-it happend to be his birthday also. They would have cake and ice cream before I got there, which always made me feel left out, and then we would go around his neighborhood with his older sister, older brother and younger brother. I can remember freezing my tail off because it was so cold and almost always it would rain too, making it miserable here is Michigan.
This has always been my favorite holiday and I always wanted to dress like a witch…today I don’t need to dress the part since I truly am a practicing witch (for no better name for a lay person). This is a truly special holiday in which I take the time out to appreciate and remember all those that have loved and have passed. I still get to play dress up as part of my ritual and I share it with my best friend/sister.
My favorite memories of Halloween were when my daughter was little, we dress her up go around to all the stores in town. The afterwards we went to the grandparents and a few Uncles houses and they would have her little treats and take pictures all of them have passed away now so it’s wonderful to have those memories. I love Kat and Bones they are my favorite couple and an auto buy for me. I just love the way they are together as a couple they have a little of everything. Funny sweet possessive hot all in one series. I hate to see the series end I am going to miss not having their books to look forward to.
I remember a halloween when we went over my grandparents and my mother dressed up and put a stocking over her head. Grandparents didn’t recognize any of us and after my grandmother gave us candy, my mother put her foot in the door and said “I want more, more!!” My grandmother got all flustered, tried to shut the door, etc. Then she realized it was her crazy daughter!
