Something about Halloween...it is believed that the border between this world and the spirit world is thin on this holiday, allowing spirits to pass through. Costumes and masks are worn to ward off the harmful spirits. I thought this was interesting when I read about it; I'm sure a lot of people just see Halloween as an excuse to get free candy! :)

Halloween is when it is perfectly acceptable to wear your green nose, warts and black pointy hat. Seems to me it should be year round.

I think this is a wonderful giveaway and perfect for this time of the year. Halloween has changed so much since I was a kid. I would go as far as my feet could carry me before I came home with a pillow case full of candy, now everyone goes to the mall. So boring, I think for small kids it's great but for older kids horrible. It is safer but sad that it has to be this way.

I love Hachette book group and their awesome giveaways!
I love Halloween because I love seeing the smile on my son's face as he goes trick or treating :)

I was very lucky to have wonderful Halloween fun with my family when I was growing up. We loved Halloween! We lived in a big house with a large foyer. My grandmother would have popcorn balls,cocoa, apples, candy, cookies and all kinds of homemade goodies on tables in the foyer. The trick-or-treaters could come in and rest and fill up on lots of good stuff. All the kids in my neighborhood called my grandmother "Granny".

Halloween is such a wonderful time of year! It is such a creative holiday. I love going out to pumpkin patches and riding the wagons out to grab our pumpkins. The one closest to us has a haunted barn, pumpkin pie contest, corn mazes, hay bale mazes and pumpkin catapults (which are pretty awesome!). Love it.

I'll be honest with you, I look forward to Halloween all year long. I wouldn't mind if every day were Halloween, because in a way it is in my mind. lol

I work with children in my role as a psychotherapist and I love hearing the anticipation that the children express for Halloween almost as much as Christmas and Hanukkah. They've been talking about it since school began. Makes me remember my love for the holiday when I was a girl.
Halloween is one of the best holidays. You get to dress up and be someone else for a night.

Halloween is my favorite time of year, my girlfriend and her husband bring their kids over and we take turns walking around the neiborhood with them and handing out candy!
Halloween is big at our house. One of my kids was born on Halloween so we PARTY! :)

Halloween is going to be kind of sad for me this year because my older daughter is away at college - and she's the one who really got into it - and my younger daughter doesn't want to do it this year. I guess I'll have to stay home and watch Hocus Pocus.

Of all the holidays except Xmas, Halloween is my favorite. I just love to see houses decorated with the fall theme and a few ghosts and goblins thrown in...and of course the vampire or two...

Halloween always marks the start of the holidays for me. Its the time of year I tend to start reflecting and reorganizing. I also tend to sneak in even more parnormal reads and horror flicks - gotta love the whole 31 days of Halloween on Scyfy and Chiller :)!!

While I love Halloween, I'm sort of sad to see yet another children's holiday taken over by adults. Seems to have exploded the past few years and people decorate for Halloween now almost as much as they do for Christmas. Crazy, but fun!

Some of my fondest childhood memories are of Halloween trick or treating and Halloween costumes.

Halloween has a long and varied history that stretches across both pagan and Christian religions.
One of my favorite parts is to sit around a bonfire and pass out candy.

I love Halloween! When I was a kid, I lived in an area that was really too rural for trick-or-treating, so I only started to really have fun with Halloween when I got to college. My favorite thing is handing out candy to visitors - even though I'm in an apartment building and visits are limited. I think I might be vicariously living through them.

I love Halloween! I remember one time I wasn't going to dress up because I thought I was too old (13yo) but changed my mind at the last minute. So my mom cut holes in a green trash bag and tied it around my neck and stuffed it with newspaper. All the other kids thought I was stuffed with candy and chased me home trying to rip the bag off me! Love Halloween!
Great giveaway - thanks!

Even though our original plan was for my 3 yr. old to be "The Big Bad Wolf" and then we were given a fabulous "Bear in the Big Blue House" costume, he is determined to be a spider this year. This makes me chuckle considering he HATES spiders. So, we are in the process of making a spider costume...

I miss living in a neighborhood where I had trick or treaters. So this year I'm going to be at my daughters helping her hand out candy.
Fascinating fact:
Halloween comes from 'All Hallows Even', the eve (night) before All Hallows Day. Halloween is the night before All Saints Day.
Other names for Halloween are:
Samhain
All Hallows Eve
All Hallowtide
The Day of the Dead
The Feast of the Dead.
Thanks for the opportunity! Indigo

Halloween: a fun holiday that gleefully fuses the opportunities for kids to eat lots of candy and to be able to safely have fun outside in the dark with their friends. And although I am almost 25-years-old, I still love the candy if I'm able to get my hands on some. :D

Halloween is my favorite holiday. We have some great decorations in our yard. I really like our big spider and the tombstone with the severed hand coming up out of the ground holding dead flowers. I won a set of chrome fangs a while back and I can't wait to wear them! Supposedly Halloween is the one day that the dead can return to earth and visit the living. We'll see....
