Okay, parents, here's a question for you, Do YOU dress up for Halloween?

Our guess is that some of you do. But as we being think about our time of neighborhood trick-or-treating, we're  wondering how many husbands and wives, mom's and dads get dressed up for Halloween?

Over the years we have worn our fair share of costumes, mostly for our student ministry or kids ministry costume parties or something similar. But we can't remember a time when we have ever dressed up for work or for trick-or-treating with the kids. But it seems that more and more parents are dressing in costumes for the festivities of the season. So we want to know.

​Do you dress up for Halloween?

As we've said, over the years we've worn a costume or two for various student and kid ministry event, but dressing up for Halloween hasn't been a regular practice. In fact, over the years, we've wrestled with the topic of Halloween. One year, we skipped the whole trick-or-treating thing all together and went to a friends house to have dinner, watch a movie, and eat candy. However the next year, we were going door to door in our neighbor collecting candy.

We think our kids were just as confused as we were. But as the years went on we decided to see Halloween as an opportunity to be in with our neighbors. We shared about that decision in this post, It's Almost Here...Again.

What we are curious to know is, do you dress up for Halloween?

​If you do dress up, why?

​Do you coordinate with your family/wife, or do you go rogue?

Are you planning on dressing up this year? If so, who or what are you dressing up to be this year?

Do you ever attend costume parties?

We'd love to hear from you, so please comment below. 

And watch for more posts coming this month as we share some ideas on how to make the most of the Halloween season.
