If it is a classic that is new to me, then illustrations are cool. <br /><br />We live in a very rural year. In 10 years, we have gotten 1 family trick-or-treating.

Decorations?

We lived in a large condo area. He only went to those "houses" that had porch lights on. Once we got home, I handed out candy to the older kids that were still going around. Now, I hand out candy to the kids that come by in the neighborhood where I currently live. <br /><br />lkish77123 at gmail dot com Linda Kishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691270187098793014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-85066673823114912552012-10-28T08:43:04.232-05:002012-10-28T08:43:04.232-05:001.

It just rounds out the whole setting with that old fashioned flair.<br /><br />2. I used to go all out, decorating, baking and dressing up with the kiddies as we went trick or treating. Now, just some decorations and candy for the grandbabies. They all go to the Trunk and treat festivals now with their parents and walk one or two blocks through their own neighborhood.<br /><br />Carol L<br />Lucky4750 (at) aol (dot) comCarol L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05291123842810883524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-60597139892374905982012-10-28T05:02:42.693-05:002012-10-28T05:02:42.693-05:001) when i read classic i prefer the original versi...1) when i read classic i prefer the original versions ( so there are illustrations in them oki but i don't want a recent edition just because illustrations are in it)<br /><br />2 Like Birgit if i was in the Us i would probably do everything now since i' don't live there: a bit of decoration and dress up ( for helping in teh shop and a event in the roleplaying club) but i would not let the kids wander ( really not cautious here) so i would take them to a festival or in a ttraction park because for halloween there are special activities and decorations ( and candies so better that than the street)<br /><br />gfc: miki<br />isabelle(dot)frisch(at)gmail(dot)commikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841065155860721811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-65064318482725288152012-10-28T01:29:49.000-05:002012-10-28T01:29:49.000-05:001.

Oh when to find the time to re-read the classics *sigh* though if I could choose I'd definitely go for the editions with original illustrations!<br /><br />2.
