I enjoyed Halloween when the kids were small.
They would usually attend a kid's Halloween parties with all the costumes and trimmings.
They also go trick or treat around the neighborhood and end up with a lot of goodies they enjoy for a good week. I always go with them for their safety.
Now that I have an empty nest, I can only revel on those Halloween items in store and the decorations and recall those times with the children.
In life we go through most phases with our children or sometimes with adult friends and families.
It's good to have some festivities like Halloween as it keeps some people and kids busy preparing for it.
Do you celebrate Halloween?

When my daughter was young, I decorated for every holiday and had a lot of fun doing it. Now, I don't decorate for any holiday... *shrug*

@DevMrSamEleazar When Pretty was little, I had a really good paying job, though. We still have a lot of the decorations in boxes in our garage.

I now have an empty nest, but I take turns with the 2 kids in celebrating. This year it will be at the son's flat. So I won;t decorate much at my place. this is for Christmas.

I moved to a suburb where it's mostly old people. I don't think there will be kids around.

There are parts where it is really trendy. Mostly in the cities and suburbs. I now live in Cooma in a place where there aren't many kids, but kids visiting their grannies.

@vickyrose We've never been anywhere where kids have been able to visit.

Yes, Josie, we didn't celebrate Halloween in Baguio. I was only introduced to this celebration when I migrated in New Zealand and the very popular with the kids. Yes, it's very commercialized. After this, Christmas mood will take over.

Halloween is not a big thing here. A few shops sell Halloween costumes and treats.

Where are you located? For some cultures, it's not popular.

Don't the kids visit the houses for candies anymore? I have never celebrated Halloween so not sure if that is a real thing (kids and candies).
I re-read your post and see that you have already answered, silly me LOL

Yes, I do.
Although, not as much as I did back in the day.
It is my Christmas, New Year, and birthday celebrations rolled in one.
