It’s Halloween! I’m beginning to suspect that this is Blogdom’s favourite holiday. When you think about it, Halloween is the perfect occasion for the blogosphere. Everything about blogging comes to a head at Halloween.
–Cute children’s pictures & anecdotes for the Mommy & Daddy bloggers
–Religious discussion for the religious bloggers
–Creepy stuff for those who groove on the gore
–Annoying trick or treaters for the ranters
–History discussions for the history bloggers.
–Scary storytime for the fiction writers.

I’m officially declaring Halloween the Bloggers’ Holiday. In my own mind anyway. Here’s some of us are doing about today.

Our jack o’lanterns died a moldy death. There isn’t a single Dum Dum or snack sized chocolate bar under this roof. I’m tired. CB has to work late tomorrow night. I apologize in advance to the trick or treaters that are going to show up on my doorstep in their street clothes looking for free candy tomorrow, because I won’t be here to hand it out. Meet y’all at the bar.

I’m up to my eyeballs in boxes. It’ll be all I can do to buy some candy for the trickin’ treaters.

Whether it’s an interdimensional monster who lives in the fog or a good ole boy swing sitting 150 ft above the street in his tower crane that gets you…. dead is still dead and you never can tell about the fog.

Instapundit and Jeff Atwood are both pondering the eternal question–>Have girls’ costumes gotten too slutty?

The Family Resource Blog has some fun recipes to add to your enjoyment–slutty costume or no.

[I]t’s going to be a total grossfest around the kitchen. Moldy Breakfast Pizza will start it all off, lunch will be Monster Eyes, and supper will be a tasty concoction of Maggoty Mess. What kid wouldn’t be happy as a ghoul could be?

All of these recipes are easy and tasty. If you have just a few items on hand, you can make all of them.

Phil Wilson’s kids are all decked out in their finest duds.

The Cool People Care gang have a suggestion for all of you candy-givers.

So, when you fill their bags and buckets with chocolate or sugar-filled goodness on Wednesday, pass out a few pieces of fair trade chocolate. While still as equally yummy as conventional chocolate, the processes by which the fair trade variety were produced mean that you’re being a socially conscious consumer.

It’s a big day and everyone’s psyched. Are you doing anything? Wearing anything? What does Halloween look like at your neck of the woods?
