We'll have a big spaghetti & meatballs dinner - served on Halloween dinnerware, of course! - then I'll get my children into their costumes & we'll go trick-or-treating to several streets in my neighborhood!! After they've gotten loaded down with candy, we'll rush back home, light up the pumpkins, turn on the lights in the bushes & all of the other decorations on the front of the house & wait for trick-or-treaters to hit us!!! I always put lit torches at the end of our sidewalk so folks down at the ends of the block will see that my house is "open for business"! We always make up treat bags the week of Halloween, usually candy & spider rings or skeletons or something kewl in there - it takes a little more time but it's tradition & fun!
Come on over - we'll save some goodies for you!! Oh! & this year I've got fog machines hidden around so my yard will be even spookier!!

The tradition used to be that Halloween, All Hallows' Eve or Samhain if you're Pagan inclined, was a special night, since it was the beginning of Winter, and a time when the doors opened between this world and the world of the Quiet Dead.
It's a time to reflect upon the year just gone, if you're a Pagan - Samhain (sometimes pronounced "SOW - in") is also the Pagan New Year in some traditions - and to bring things to an end that have outlived their usefulness, like workings you've left hanging, or old relationships you've been letting slide of late.
Halloween's not a time for beginning something new, as such: that's reserved for Imbolc at the start of February; but you're entitled to continue on projects you've already begun, as long as you're not really expecting great advancements. It is, after all, Winter, and a fallow period in life.
Me, after the many readings I've done, people I've created talismans and amulets for and done workings for, and assorted magical doings over the course of this year, what I intend to do this Halloween night is, basically, to take the night off and make an early night of it with a cup of hot milk and a book like Jane Eyre or something. Something ordinary.
So I can do things like an ordinary person for a change.

Going out for a nice romantic meal with my husband, we had our very first date 25 years ago this coming Halloween so we thought we would celebrate the occasion.

I'm making Pumpkin Soup, followed by hotdogs and baked potatoes, and then taking the kids out Trick or Treating.
Then we'll get back, have hot chocolate with marshmellows and either watch a movie or tell each other stories.

At my church we are doing Trunk-er Treat. Safer then going around to different houses in the dark and cold.
