Do you still dress up for Halloween?

Hi shebee, I'm not sure! This will be my daughters first year trick or treating so we will be taking her, but we are still unsure if we will be dressing up or not. PurpleTeddyBear!

Of course!!! lol. I have dressed up for 51 years counting the upcoming one. If I have been at a job that prohibited it the costume went on as soon as I arrived home. I love to dress up for Halloween/Samhain. And yes, the kids do love it. I remember the one Halloween I had decided NOT to dress up. I had worked extra hours that week and I was simply too tired to care, so I figured to just hand out treats. Then my first trick or treaters arrived, neighbor kids in dress. They took the candy and pencils then they asked me why I wasn't dressed. I told them I had decided not to. Bless their hearts they went to the bottom step, huddled and whispered for a moment, then the eldest boy came back up with the treats, gave them back to me and asked, "If we go around the block and come back will you dress up for us? All the kids like to see what you'll be. You being dressed up makes you our favorite house." Well, what can ya say to that except of course. So they went on and I dressed up quickly (I had a costume ready). Then a few minutes later another group came. I almost burst out laughing when I answered the door and a little girl said, "See, she is too dressed up. They were wrong." My first group came back shortly and they were so pleased. They thanked me for the treats and for dressing up for them. They told me that the neighborhood kids always tried to guess what I would be each year. I have moved now and I still dress up, but I do miss those kids. This year I will be an angel, very unusual for me but I work Halloween and work with elderly people so they discourage scary costumes. Then when I get home I have to change to my witch costume for our planned all out Halloween house for the evening ghoulies. So I guess this year I dress up twice lol. I am 51 now but of all the places we lived as an army family, every Halloween I still remember the one house on a base in California where the family all dressed up to give treats. Kids absolutely love to see adults acting like them and that is and will probably always be the house I remember most from my childhood Halloweens.
