Halloween’s coming up again. I prefer Halloween to the dreaded Christmas! Don’t get me wrong, I hate the constant sound of people at the front door and in the street, the ringing of the doorbell and kids shrieking "TRICK OR TREAT!”. My Uncle William always chooses trick and blasts kids with a water gun. Lol.
I don’t do that. But I do go all out with my creativity and love of acting and make cool spooctacular decorations and a scary costume for myself. At Christmas I don’t really do anything, maybe I’ll wear reindeer antler hair band. . . but Halloween is different and much more fun for me.
Last year I dressed up as a wicked Witch, I made a really old looking cloak like it was ancient and very worn and tatty. I made a pointed hat. I dyed my hair white. And then I spent months perfecting my Witch voice. I managed to scare a few people. My Dad looked petrified at first. I wish my Mum could have seen me, I think she would have approved!
This year I’m going to be a vampire, maybe Dracula’s daughter. I have very pale skin and with my hair dyed black it should be a fab result. Hopefully.
So my question is, do you celebrate Halloween? How do you spend the night?
Oh and I forgot to say I’ll also be baking some spooky looking cakes. I love making spider cakes.
I love Halloween! I dress myself and my dog in costumes and we answer the door to the local kids. I would rather have a couple of hours answering the door to people I'll never see again at Halloween than multiple days in a row of being 'sociable' with family at Christmas- it's far less tiring to me.
Oooh your costumes sound great. What are you and your dog going to have at costumes this year?
I'm the same I'd rather have that with strangers for an evening rather than the whole of the Christmas period where I've got to interact every single day with family and enter busy shops.
Christmas is one giant burnout for me.
I've seen some bat wings for the dog, though I don't know yet if they're available in his size- he's pretty big! I already have all the things I need for a Wednesday Addams costume so I might do that.
