Okay, lay it on me...

It's definitely fall here in New England - the nights are cold, the leaves are turning color, and we're only a few weeks away from Halloween. If you enjoy any of the things associated with this time of year, share them with me!

Do you have a favorite Halloween/scary movie?

A favorite food that you associate with autumn weather and/or Halloween?

If you celebrate Halloween, what do you do to celebrate it?

We celebrate Halloween (costumes, candy, spooky movies!) and also Samhain (our religious new year and festival for the dead, which happens to fall on Oct 31.)

For the former, the kids go out trick-or-treating, the oldest goes to a costume party, and I answer the door and give out candy while watching spooky movies. (Favorite Halloween movie? Hmm. They're all so good! I really love old Hammer films.)

For the latter, we set up an ancestor altar, with pictures of all our beloved dead, and then I make foods we associate with our family members who have passed on. We set them out a plate at supper, and invite them to join us. We also clean and decorate family graves at this time. On the 31st, we leave a candle (battery powered) burning all night to guide our family spirits to us.

The past few years I've watched marathons of SyFy's Ghost Hunters on Halloween night, LOL!
