    I'll just be showing my face at mine for an hour or two. It's drinks and platters of sausages, sandwiches etc in a pub in town. Not really my scene anymore, I'd prefer to go for a meal somewhere nice (and not dress up).

    Is your workplace organising a Halloween party, & will you be going?

    Do you have to wear a mask every other day of the year so as not to scare people?

    Our place is having one and nope, I'm not.

    When did Halloween become such a big deal outside of trick or treating for kids?

    Yes, because I work in a bar and will be working for the party. All the staff dress up behind the bar and serve spooktacular shots. It's terrible.

    Probably not widespread, but when I saw the Christmas party thread I was curious to test the water :)

    In order to bob for apples?

    My response to your query: No, so no.
