I am not a Halloween fan we are usually on holiday on this day but I think we are home this year. to be honest we don;t get many trick or treaters around this area it is not as popular here as it is in the US:-) hugs Jan xx

The best thing about Halloween is that you don't need to go to the Outhouse! Whether the moon is hiding or not, you can still sip you wine in peace! Aloha! Rico
