What holidays do you celebrate?

[Silverfire]

I'm actually doing something different than the main stream Halloween. I'm going to try to observe Samhain for the first time. Just something small this year; I will try a more proper observation next year when I'm more prepared.

Something to read about Samhain for those that are curious

I had never heard of Samhain. Do you have friends to celebrate with?

[Hocus Pocus]

I don't do anything for Halloween anymore. I don't hand out candy either. I'm an only child so once I stopped trick or treating which was around the age of 13 that was it. I'd still do it if it wasn't creepy. People tell me to go have a child so I can go tick or treating. No, unless I can rent one, I really don't want to keep it afterwards.

Hocus... take a friend's kid or do you have little cousins or neighbors kids?

Not my hometown or the city my university is in, but a city in my state decided to have trick or treating in the mall on the 29th because people whined so much about Halloween being on Halloween.

I don't understand why people fuss so much

Or you could just... Go get your own candy!
I think trick-or-treating is a much better use of halloween than say, the wild "adult" parties. Way more fun!

No, I don't. I'm a Pagan in a overly Christian part of the US anyway. It doesn't sit well for others. Still I can do my best until I get out on my own and can work on expanding my collection of items.

I have a friend who is likely to observe Samhain, tho I haven't talked to her in person for a few years now (high school graduation)

I love Samhain I kind of have always wanted to observe it but didn't know how to go about it. I'll be taking the little one out trick or treating this year though.

None of my friends have children. My cousins aren't that close to me where they'd let me watch their child and there is currently only one child. I also live in a neighborhood where all of the kids are my age, we've grown up. haha

I don't really eat the candy, I just like dressing up and walking the streets with a candy bag, going door to door. It's more of the ceremony than the actual candy. I also don't hang out with a lot of people my age so I don't get invited to wild adult parties, though I don't think I'd fit in at those parties anyways. xD lol There is no hope.

Sometimes me and my friends hang out together dressed up.

we have certain areas where parents drive their kids over and pick them up several blocks away because the candy handouts are so huge. Seems like more people are just leaving a bowl out and doing the honor system.

Hocus: Maybe you could look out for those kinds of places to get your candy! And if anyone asks just say you're getting it for someone... (you don't have to tell them its you

My only Halloween tradition was that my mom always took all of my tootsie rolls because they "might have been contaminated." I know better now, but I still give her all of my tootsie rolls anyway whenever I have them. XD
