In Texas, I didn't see much decoration or anything, or at least not like it is here. The first year I was here (northern Illinois) for Halloween, I thought the neighbors had their calendar fast forwarded. They decorate for Halloween here like Texas decorates for Christmas. We always took the kids trick or treating and passed out candy in Texas; but once I moved here, I've usually been working Halloween evening, so I just throw on my usual costume (little girl ready for bed with a teddy bear - basically it's an excuse to wear flannel nightgown and slippers to work).
This year it falls on a Sunday. I haven't checked the school schedule, but I *think* that's my off week and I don't work on Sunday nights, ever. So I haven't decided if we're going to turn off the lights and hide under the bed or pass out candy. I wouldn't DARE leave town on trick or treat night.. no telling what I'd find (or more likely NOT find), when I got home.
