Its Halloween! I hope your Halloween is boo-tiful!

I'm positively dying to know what you're going to be doing for Halloween!

I'm a bonfire fan! I tend to be the one to have pranks pulled on me because I tend to be a good sport about it. Pranks sound like too much work to me.

I'm always attracted to fire.

I prefer to wander around in public in a weird costume rather than do pranks. I can't think of any "pranks" that wouldn't annoy someone (probably whoever had to clean up the mess.)

Bonfire

Oh hell, go for broke …roasted corn on the cob, potatoes, marshmallows, and hot dogs (even if I don’t eat them any other time of year)…..yes, and cider.

There is something calming, sedating about watching (well contained) fire in the night.

Definitely team bonfire.

Definitely bonfire. We made sure our wood stove had a glass window in the door, so we can watch. It's mesmerizing, soothing, comforting. NOT a fan of pranks.

I like pranks less than candy corn. I'll take the bonfire, please!

Who does the best bonfire in my ecosystem? Why the volunteer fire department of course! They have a giant blow up spider on their hose drying tower, they serve hotdogs and donuts, and they finish off with fireworks.

Why waste my time on pranks when I can enjoy hospitality like that? We were very lucky - seriously heavy rain all afternoon, then it stopped just in time to head over the the party.

Bonfire if I absolutely have to - I tend to be the Grinch of Halloween, thank goodness we live far away from everybody.  Pranks are just plain annoying - why inflict them on someone else.
