Do you do the costume for Halloween? I do and enjoy it very much! I have had some good ones over the years. What are we dressing up as this year?

I dress up sometimes. But this year I won't be. My son has decided he is to old for all that. So him and I are going to just enjoy passing out candy and decorating our yard.
I have always loved dressing up for Halloween. I have been Wonder Woman several times. I made a costume in college and tweaked it as needed when it got worn. Two years ago, I found a long sleeved top and used that to make it suitable for my daughter to wear. The boots and cape worked fine! Usually, if I don't dress up, I'll just be in all black. Probably wear something fun to give out candy this year. Daughter is going to be Maleficent. I'll post a pic of her costume we made later in the week.
Someday, I will wear my shriners fez and have my cardboard box car with kid arms and legs glued to the bottom. Yeah. Pretty dark.
Edited to add: Not REAL kid arms and legs. You know, fake ones.

As a child, of course I loved it. Then in my 20s I got into doing silly & strange costumes (the ultimate was Bea Arthur). In my 30s I started shying away from dressing up for Halloween and now I despise it. Literally. I'd rather go to the dentist than put on a costume. Really.
I hope do not offend anyone. Just my observation. It seems that a young women think that Halloween is a free pass to dress as slutastic as possible. There is nothing wrong with that...just my observation.
I never dress for Halloween but i dont mind dressing up occasionally. When i worked as a guide in the historical museum here in stockholm i sometimes dressed up. Mostly as a stoneageman or ironage man or viking to illustrate some point but sometimes i dressed up to amuse the kids i were guiding. Once i was dressed as a court jester and once at a dressshow as a gravedigger that pushed corpses around in a deserted town during the plague (1350 in sweden, about 40-50 % of every towns population died in a year). These gravediggers were dressed in a special way to avoid being struck with disease, rather grislylooking they were.....
Mostly teenage girls. The mom half of me wonders who the hell lets their daughter out of the house like that, then the former teenager half of me remembers leaving the house in normal clothes, but then changing into something more revealing at a friend's house.
As for dressing up, I do love to, but not this year. If we had gone to the party at the clothing-optional place nearby, I was going to just put on a pair of white sneakers and be one of the girls from the Blurred Lines video
