Halloween for Adults!

Adults at a Halloween costume party.

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. Kids get to dress up as superheroes, ghosts or monsters, go door-to-door with their friends saying "Trick or Treat" and get lots of candy. What kid wouldn't love that? Frequently, when we were children, I dressed up as a knight with a shield and sword and my sister dressed up as a princess.

But Halloween isn't only for children!

Adults dress up too and go to costume parties. Bars and dance clubs also hold Halloween events. Since Halloween can fall on any day of the week, there are usually parties and events on both the weekend before and after the actual day. But someone is always crazy enough to hold a party on Oct 31st, even if it is a Tuesday.

It's not uncommon to celebrate Halloween for a whole week. I remember one year (it was 2002, when Halloween fell on a Thursday), I went to six different Halloween parties!
