I don't usually celebrate this American tradition, but at work we are having a dress up day which can be a bit of fun. Gold coin donations to buy some candy will be going to a charity. I thought this photo was sweet and would like to share. Story below from nationalgeographic.com
San Diego, California, October 28, 2008--Menderu, a six-month-old Malayan tiger cub, stalks a pumpkin stuffed with ground meat at the San Diego Zoo. Jack-o-lanterns were set out for Menderu, his two sisters, and mother as special Halloween treats.
Malayan tigers, like all tiger species, are endangered, according to the IUCN. Primary threats are habitat loss and poaching for their striped coats. The San Diego Zoo participates in breeding programs for Malayan and Sumatran tigers.

Have fun at your party.
FYI, Halloween isn't an American tradition, it's originally from Ireland. But Americans are probably the ones that go the most overboard celebrating it thought.
thanks pita! I didn't know it was orginally from Ireland. I will have to let everyone here know. We haven't done our research haha
