In our village the little children (five - eight years old) come to our door dressed up. If we opened the door wearing costumes it would terrify them, so we don't. But we have a lit-up pumpkin and lots of sweets for them. I lit our pumpkin for the first time last night. I'm nver very good at carving it, but just do rough eyes, nose and those jagged teeth.

Actually, Krinklepops, they don't make a costume suited to your personality, but you could wear this tee-shirt instead.

I like that. But we don't do Halloween in this town. The churches here forbid it. It's Satanic.

At home, watching TDS/Colbert, and later, playing my guitar. The kids, few in our area anyway, don't need more sugar. And they throw out the apples cause, you know, a long time ago in a place far away, someone once put razors in them.

We had lots of lovely children last year, some with their mums, ohters (older ones) in small groups. Their costumes were very good, we admired each one. Our next-door neighbour came in a horrible witch's mask and cloak, frightened the life out of me. It's such a small out-of-the-way village that there isn't much risk to the little ones, we all know eachother. If they see a lighted pumpkin at the door, they'll ring the bell. I can't wait!

I'm going to be an old gray haired retired coot. I haven't decided yet whether to put a costume over that.

Which kinda reminds me of the lady who came into a cafe to meet some of her friends for lunch. She arrived at the table and said, "I just saw a clown outside". A friend looked at her and asked, "Was it a real clown, or just someone dressed up like one?"

Yeah, someone gave me LSD three or four Halloweens in a row. Well, they didn't actually give it to me. It cost six bucks a hit.

Cheucy was a LARGE black/white female cat. Smart as a whip because I trained her that way. She would do what I told her to do but she would growl and hiss and moan about it. But, we got along well.

About 15 years ago, she was sitting at the top of the steps of a split-entrance I had on Halloween, watching the little kiddies come to the door. Many parents who accompany their little ones also don costumes. I spotted one such... a lady from just up the street in a Sylvester The Cat costume. I stepped out of the door a bit, pointed at her to get her attention and waved her to the door. I explained and asked her to step inside the door.

Everyone who knows cats knows what happened next.

And, she was so affectionate for nearly a month!

I shall, around 5 p.m., turn off the porch light and the upstairs lights and crawl down to my little hidey-hole of an office in the basement. Anyone bothering me will be shot, survivors will be executed. I have about 5,500 more books to catalog and I can't be bothered with hollow weenies.

I don't like Hallowe'en since people around here began using it as another opportunity to hang around in bars and get drunk -- in fact, it has become the autumnal version of St Patrick's Day. If it was still little kids in home-made costumes, I would play along, but it isn't, so I don't.

One Hallowe'en years ago, I had to rescue my cat, Black Maria, from a tittering teenager who thought it was a good idea to grab Maria off the porch railing where she was taking the air. Maria was fighting for all she was worth, which was considerable, so by the time I caught up with the cat-nappers they were good and sorry. But they would have dropped her on busy Bronson Avenue, where she would provably have been hit by a truck or gotten lost.

Like Mr Happy, I will be out. Or hiding, like Rapparee, with the cats firmly behind the home portcullis.

I will be an Irishwoman. I'll wear the sweater and cap I bought while I was there a few weeks ago! That shouldn't scare the children.

I give out dollar bills. Parents don't have to worry. The young children think the money is a treat. The older ones might think it's a trick because today $1 is worth so little. The treat for me is that I don't end up eating leftover candy!

The 'sweets dilemma' bothers me a bit, all those colourants and unhealthy sugar. I got some super sweets in Tesco's, they're sugar vampire teeth! It's only a one-off occasion so I'm hoping the children find them fun without getting high on chemicals and a sugar rush!
