We used to do it up BIGTIME for Halloween! I was Elvira one year ... that was a good one! But my all time favorite was before I was 7 .. I went out with my sisters and was dressed as a clown. My mother made the costume and I had waited weeks to wear it! i stepped in a mudd puddle and cried. My sisters gave me some of their candy and held my hand! I miss those days!

My alltime favorite was when I was in Grade 5 (I think). My Mom made me and a friend of mine, California Raisin costumes, they were so cool! We had the big sunglasses and everything.

Oh--I loved dressing up as a bride or a nurse all the time, but I don't think I was ever one for Halloween.

The funniest thing that ever happened to me on Halloween was one year when we were staying at my grandmother's. Everybody that lived in their community was elderly, and they always held Trick-Or-Treat night on a night other than Halloween. Still don't know why. But anyhow. My grandma wanted to take us around to all her little old friendcs, etc. My brother was a ghost, but I didn't have a costume with me. So, my aunt dressed me up as a gypsy. She gave me some of her clothes, a wig, a bunch of jewelry, and a ton of make-up. They took me to my great-grandparents, and my great-grandfather thought I was my aunt's friend, and started asking me a bunch of questions about my kids, etc. (I was only 7 or 8 at the time!) It was a riot. He knew who my brother was, but he thought they'd left me at home.

I don't remember very many. I know I was an indian when I was around 3 or 4 because I have seen pictures. The only others that stand out in my head was a Hobo. I probably did that alot for lack of anything else. Last year for a party, I dressed up like a jester and DH was a hippie. That is probably what we will be this year, both of us hippies. Easy and cheap!

I didn't celebrate Halloween growing up. It still conflicts with my beliefs but I work around it for my kids because I felt so left out when I was a kid.

When I was about 11 or 12 me and my friends used to all dress up like punk rockers with pink hair and glitter and funky clothes...that was fun! I won a costume contest when I was 16 dressed up like a she-devil. (had light-up horns, it was great! )
