Trick-Or-Treat!Halloween is the best night ever!You can enjoy time with friends,eat candy and dress up as what every person or thing you want!It is the 2′nd best time to pull pranks on people.It is a scary, tasty, fun time.When ever i finish trick-or-treating i always trade candy with friends.Halloween is the 1 of the best holidays ever!HAPPY HALLOWEEN!-BOO!
or:
Hallowen is not a great holiday, if it’s a holiday shouldn’t you get a day off of school and work? Why isn’t it during the whole day? Why? I tell you why to scare you silly and for what, a little bit of candy! I could get some candy for less then a buck.
After you go trick or treating you go to bed thinking about monsters and stuff that could kill you after going to a very scary house. Lots of people that used to do it don’t what to do it any more. Why? Because it isn’t a good holiday. I don’t like to get scared. Do you?

I think Halloween is an awesome holiday because first of all I like to dress in scary and funny costumes. Trick or treat! Also I love to scare my friends and family and pull tricks on them. I also like to go trick or treating and afterwards….. HALLOWEEN PARTY!!!!!!!! But most of all, I like the candies, yummy! I gobble it down when I get home *burp* yum! And after all of these fun things I like to watch Halloween scary movies late at night SPOOOOOKY. As you can see Halloween is a great holiday.
Have a happy Halloween!
BOO!!Halloween is tied for my favourite holiday (christmas).Halloween is most kid’s favourite holiday but I can’t be sure of that.Halloween has many reasons to be a fun holiday.Which holiday can you dress up in a costume?Halloween.You can dress up in funky and scary costumes.I know christmas you get gifts but once in a while we get candy and that’s my favourite part of Halloween.This holiday gives you a time to scare your friends right out of town.You also get to decorate your house with scary things.Oh!I almost forgot another fun thing,jack-o-lanterns,I love carving pumpkins.Halloween gives you a chance to hang with your friends and get some candy.I love HALLOWEEN!!!

Halloween is the BEST holiday because it’s a time where you can make your house really spooky and you can turn it into a haunted house on halloween night! Also I think it’s an AWESOME holiday because you can get lot’s of YUMMY CANDY to eat:)You can put on all your spooky stuff and hope to scare people on halloween night;)
After I go trick-or-treating, I would usually check my candies to ensure they are not unwrap, then I ENJOY AND SHARE MY candies with my family. Have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!:)

☻ I love Hallowe’en! ☻
Eeeekkkk! Hallowe’en is the best holiday ever! You get to dress up in freaky costumes, go to creepy houses and best of all, you get… (drumroll please…) candy! It’s also a great time to meet up with friends, neighbours, and that nice old lady that lives right down the street. I love decorating my house all scary and that stuff, but this year, I’m excited that I’m going out with 6 of my friends! I think Hallowe’en is a amazing holiday…and I’m sure everyone has a heart for those ugly rats! TRICK-OR-TREAT!!! (where’s the candy?)

I think that Halloween should definitely stay as a celebration. I think this because it is fun to dress up once a year and be anything you’d like to be. The best part is getting all the candy. Then trading with your brothers and sisters.
I don’t think Halloween is a good celebration because you don’t know if you are getting tricked or treated by their neighbors. some kids can’t wait till they reach home to eat the candy so they ate some. Some people even put razor blades in the candy and seal it back so I don’t think that Halloween is a good celebration.
Oh well, that’s my opinion anyway because I don’t celebrate Halloween.
Booooooo! I scared you!
Halloween is one of the best celebration ever! One of my favourite part of Halloween is that you can dress up and go to houses for the best thing in the world and your proply wondering what that is and thats CANDY! I also like carving the pumpkins! You can make funny faces and scary faces on your pumpkin.
Well I’ll see you later I going to carve my pumpkin now!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
booooo!!!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhh!!!
I think that Halloween has its ups and downs.
ups:
the good thing about Halloween is that you get free candy and it is really fun to dress up in funny or scary costumes.
downs:
Some people don’t like to get scared.And NOBODY likes to get cavities.
those are the ups and downs of Halloween. -{:~
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO… To all kids because I think halloween is an awesome holiday. The reson why is because When you come back from trick or treating you have a bag full of candy! Also because there are awesome costums that you can wear that are really cool! I love trick or treating, I can tast the candy in my mouth right now. Wait, I am eating it right now. I love scaring the kids when they come to my front door when I am done trick or treating. One time I scared a grade seven. SO GO HAVE YOUR CANDY AND LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
H-a-l-l-o-w-e-e-n! What does that spell Halloween! One of my favourite holiday’s of the year! The best things about Halloween it that you get a lot of candy from lots of differen’t people, have loads of fun with your friends, neibourghs, and also with your famliy members. I just wish that Halloween wasn’t REALLY short! I mean like why couldn’t be for the whole day or something. But then again there are negitive parts about it like, your feet would ach a lot, and you would have to carry a lot of candy in so many heavy bags! It would just be to tiering! My most fav thing to do is… DECORATING THE HOUSE! I love to decorate the house with spooky and scary things. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
I <3 HALLOWEEN!!<3
I think Halloween is a great idea because people like to go trick-or-treating with their family. Its the time to eat candy and decorating your house. You can decorate your house anyway you want to. You can make it a haunted house or just put pumpkins in the front yard. You don’t have to decorate your house if you don’t want to. I don’t celebrate Halloween but I like to go trick-or-treating, decorate the house and dress up for fun though.
