Halloween birthdays compare to no other Preparations begin at the end of summer Leaves change color, a chill is in the air Outdoor decorations appear everywhere Talk of ghosts, goblins and big black cats Songs about monsters dancing ‘The Mash’ Porch Jack-O-Lanterns grin from ear-to-ear October 31st every town any given year Bobbing for apples at Halloween parties Hayrides to haunted houses to hear scary stories Witches cast spells on those superstitious Eating cake, opening presents, all the best wishes Shadows and full moons... spooky lights Costumes and candy on ‘Trick-or-Treat’ night Great celebrations in many fun ways Halloween is the best time for birthdays Written October 23, 2015 February-10, 2016 - Birthday Party Contest By Nayda Ivette Negron Third Place November 4, 2015 - Birthday Party Contest By Kelly Deschler Second Place

Hi Susan, An excellent write on Halloween Birthdays, looking forward to the moment, the fun and the scares, and still to come the presents. Such a bubbly write for this time of the year. Top it all off with trick or treating and it is the complete Halloween birthday. Love the imagery here Susan. A seven filled with fun sent your way....Vlad.
