Halloween seems to have become much bigger as a cultural phenomenon since the advent of the internet. When I was young, my family rarely did anything for Halloween and I didn't really care about it. And most people seemed to consider trick or treating as just a little kiddie activity. But now Halloween is HUGE! Even if trick or treating is still mostly a kid activity (yay for those of us who have kids) everyone seems to get excited about it these days. Far more so than I recall when I was young.
So how about you? Do you get excited for Halloween? Do you do anything to celebrate? Do you dress up or go trick or treating?
Personally, I never cared about it until I had kids old enough to trick or treat. Now, with 5 kids, Halloween is a MAJOR EVENT in our house. My kids love to dress up and they love to go trick or treating. And this year my 6-year-old started asking for a Halloween party so we had a small one with family members. No doubt he'll want it to get bigger and better each year. The 6-year-old is one of those kids who is obsessed with Halloween all year round. He loves Halloween monsters and creepy movies and such, especially Frankenstein('s monster). (I even got him the classic Frankenstein movie to watch this year.) He's dressed up as Frankenstein('s monster) two years in a row. Sometimes I think my kids like Halloween more than Christmas. lol
