What are you doing for Halloween?

[Trotter]

Being honest with you Halloween isn't as Celebrated as much in the UK as it is in the US. Christmas is the Biggest day of the year over hear. I will say I have all ways wanted to go out on a Limb on Halloween (Pun Intended ) and enjoy it like the Americans as I think its one of the biggest holidays over the other side of the Pond.

As usual I will prob be in the house at home, watching TV, Computer ECT:.

I will also add Xmas this year can go and Shovel its own ****, sooner its over and done with the better. I don't like Xmas, I don't have time for it, and IMHO, its over Commercialized, Over Rated, Expensive, and just one Day. Hurry up and do one Xmas for all I care.

Christmas is huge here as well. The US is starting into our end of the year triad of holidays... Halloween (31 Oct), Thanksgiving (third Thursday in November), and Christmas. And they are each bigger than the other in that order.

Halloween is a time of pranks and candy. Thanksgiving is a time of feasting and the day after (Black Friday) officially kicks of the holiday shopping season. And Christmas is the same everywhere.

My Walmart I frequent had Christmas stuff up in their gardening section the beginning of this month :|

Honestly...I'd say that Halloween starts the Christmas season around here. Although our family celebrates Thanksgiving and the grocery stores do too, you don't see much about Thanksgiving at the big box stores. They tend to go from candy right to santa and the holiday music starts

Supposedly people are going to dress up here at work...haven't decided if I'm going to or not yet.

Only "costume" I have is a clown outfit that I wire with an Israeli civilian gas mask a couple years ago at a college party, lol.

Found pics of 'em:

But the fangs won't be visible under my gas mask .

What kind of a respectful zombie clown does not have narly teeth under his gas mask?

Sweet gas mask.

Sweet gas mask.

Got it off of eBay when I was in HS for like $20 . Not sure where the respirator went to though. Was originally gonna put some window tint on the eye lenses too so I could see out but you couldn't see in, but nobody I knew had any scraps I could use - and window tint is kinda expensive lol.

Not really usable anymore tho - I had to remove some pieces on the inside near the mouthpiece so I could still breath with it on without the respirator. A couple rubber gaskets I believe - not sure where those went either, otherwise I could put it back together and make it a normal gas mask again. It also has a drinking tube extension, which is cool cuz I don't have to take the mask off to drink lol. That was fun at parties.
