      I know and there is no "I" in Halloween, but there are several in "Trick or Treating" and there is even one in kid - no wonder it's all about the candy.

    Hello from Spain: thanks for visiting and make you a follower of my blog. I've just become a follower of your wonderful blog. I think Halloween today has become a commercial holiday ... In my country is a holiday that is not celebrated much. Keep in touch

      It's vital that you know this Marta, "Barbie wants Spain to celebrate Halloween!" It's been the only thing that keeps Ken and Barbie apart. They would have been married years ago, but Barbie took an oath that she would never marry as long as Spain doesn't give Halloween the respect it deserves.

      It's now up to you to help Ken and Barbie find true happiness at last! Go forth and spread the word amongst your people, that this will be the year that Halloween matters, not just for the few but for all Spaniards!

      Halloween isn't a big deal - why wars have been started for less! It's up to you to make Portugal the next Halloween desination fun spot. With your fashion sense you can transform the Halloween costume design for the next hundred years!

      Remember we are all counting on you - you're now our Halloween eyes and ears. Be safe, be strong! We won't rest until Portuguese children experience the joy of "Trick or Treating."

      Thank you Maggie! We delighted you dropped by to visit as well. Amazed that you still have time to blog after all that you do - very inspiring!

      Make sure that "Tinkerbell" and "Dotty" behave themselves this Halloween. Life is seldom easy and rarely fair, but it sounds like you have the right frame of mind to overcome all that life throws at you!

      All the Best from all of us here at Halloween Fun for All.

    Thanks for visiting us. Before you give away Michael, can you tell us why he's not wanted anymore?

    Also, did you know the real reason for the Revolutionary War had nothing to do with taxation without representation? It had everything to do with England's refusal to recognize Halloween as a major holiday!

    Next, you'll probably tell me that Ground Hogs Day is no big deal in the UK. Will the madness ever end?
