HopefulHeart Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I chuckled when I saw that meme on facebook this morning. For my costume, I'm dressing as a college student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgnatiusofLoyola Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 This year (as I have for several years) I am dressing as the cranky old lady who doesn't answer her door to trick-or-treaters. I've turned off my porch light and will turn off my front living room lights just before 4:00 pm, when trick or treating officially starts in my town. As it is, I doubt that many children will be disappointed--my street doesn't get many trick-or-treaters. I know of only one or two families on my side of the street with children of trick-or-treating age. The other side of my street has a convent of retired Religious Sisters, a small monastery, a very large former motherhouse which is now been converted to high-end condos for adults over 55, and a nursery school. The former monastery grounds have been converted into a small, quiet park. One good thing is that when the Religious Sisters had to sell their large former motherhouse for financial reasons, the historical society in my town went to work to have the building declared a historical landmark. So, the building looks almost exactly the same as it did when it was a motherhouse--you wouldn't know it was condos. It's a graceful and lovely building. My cat and I have "set up shop" for the evening in my bedroom at the back of my house. I'm sitting on my bed with lots of pillows and my laptop. I have a very soft heating pad that I have set very low, and covered with a pillowcase, and my kitty is basking in the warmth. I've set the heating pad within arm's reach so that I can pet her easily. Kitties are so easy to please! A warm spot and lots of love makes for a very content, purring cat. Oh yes, I have set TWO jar candles from the Summit Dominicans on my dresser--Apple Harvest and Christmas Hearth. It is grey and drizzly outside, but inside my bedroom smells like late fall with a burning fireplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anomaly Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Another great night. For the last 10+ years, we sat outside with a couple of other neighbors, talked, drank beer, and enjoyed the kids. More visitors than usual this year. We gave out almost all our candy, invluding teenage hooligans walking by that we harassed into taking candy. Neighborhood kids we know stop by two or three times. We have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not A Mallard Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I watched The Sixth Sense for the first time. I've always known about the twist, but the tragedy of it nonetheless gave an emotional gut punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NadaTeTurbe Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I spend Halloween celebrating the victory of the All Blacks at Rugby World Cup. It was in the tiniest I've ever seen in my city. I did not want to drink beer because of Mass today, so I asked for a coke, and the patron looked at me like "are you asking me for something without alcohol ? Are you insulting me ?". Anyway, I hate Halloween. It's not a big thing here, but there's still people knoking at the door. Urg. My father and me never answer, but my mom does. If you want to disguise yourself, there's Carnaval for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominicansoul Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 I did spend it with my kitties! We had plenty of candy and cookies but no one ever comes to my house. I'm pretty sure it's too rural for peeps. Besides our town is flooded, so that put a huge dent in the festivities.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizabeth09 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I ended up working that evening. By the time trick or treat started, it was very slow. Luckily, work was kind and let us dress in costume, or black or orange or theme shirt. I was invited to a friend's friend Halloween party right after work, so it was a little fun.
