Happy Halloween!!!
Happy Halloween, all! This is one of my most favorite holidays and I just wanted to take the opportunity to say that I have enjoyed this site so much. I can't afford to travel as much as I'd like, and reading your posts are the next best thing. Cheers!

It is Halloween morning in northern NJ and cloudy but it doesn't matter, the trees are such beautiful colors~Everytime someone walks by the house you can hear the leaves on the ground rustling, the kids didn't do too much damage last night on their annual let's be vandals night-better known around here as mischief night.I am hoping the little ones will be able to do their trick or treating tonight,they are always sooo cute.My son lives in Japan and he said they just had the last of the school Halloween parties, the little ones are learning about it for the first time, he says they are so cute and love to be scared by the teachers in their costumes~Happy Hallowen to you all ~C
ooooooo

Happy Halloween from me too. Looking forward to taking the little one out tonight. Luckily the weather has warmed from the 30s of the past few evenings. She is dressed as one of the dragons from "Dragon Tales" today. Let me tell you the little one has long been known for having a ferocious roar, so the dragon costume fits. Another kid was dressed as a knight today, and they just stood there looking at each other. I told the teachers that "dragons and knights don't get along too well."

Happy All Hallows Eve! <BR> <BR>No costume parade this year at school. My grandson is now in middle school and too old for that sort of thing. Frankly I'll miss it. Loved seeing his classmates and how clever some of the costumes were. <BR> <BR>Time marches on. <BR> <BR>j

Happy Halloween to Fodors Europe Forum readers!!! <BR> <BR>We've got a box of 100 Jolly Rancher lollipops in grape, cherry and green apple flavors, with probably about 75 suckers left. You wouldn't believe how great tasting these Jolly Ranchers on a stick are and big, too! <BR> <BR>Our mini-patch produced one huge ol' pumpkin and this afternoon we'll just carve a big, goofy jack o'latern instead of doing something with the fancy carving kit. <BR> <BR>Yesterday I substitute taught 1st grade (6 and 7 yer olds) and the children are excited for tonight!

Happy Halloween from Boston. Nearby Salem (i.e. "Witch City") is all festooned for another ghoulish day. Leaving work early to take my 3 year old trick or treating. She is dressing as "Madeline" this year. <BR> <BR>No costumes seen yet, although every year I remember the best costume I ever saw. It was 1994 or 1995 and I saw two men in Boston's South End neighborhood (predominantly gay part of town) dressed as Holly Hunter and Anna Paquin from "The Piano" (big black hoop skirts, very starched looking, black hair pulled back in a tight bun). Amazingly authentic.

Happy Halloween from Brooklyn, NY. Sorry to say it's overcast here, but not very cold. Just got back from a weekend trip up north of the city, saw all the beautiful foliage. Today I'm making brioche. All that butter the recipe called for was pretty scary, ha. <BR> <BR>Re: the full moon, won't be another on Halloween until 2020. Have a good one, everyone.

The party's over-all of them,thankfully. I work in a school where one classroom runs into another - no walls. So, it was one Halloween celebration spilling over into another! Great fun and lots of laughs - children are wonderful- delighted and excited. <BR>Happy Halloween!
