I treat all the kids that come to my door with Almond Joys. I love seeing all their costumes and all and how excited they are! I really enjoy it. And, I also make a pumpkin pie for me and hubby as symbol of the beginning of the holiday season! I really love this time of year.............Christmas eve is my favorite day of the whole year!

I answer the door.I did it big time this year. I bought the good stuff. Last year we didn't have to many. The year before we ran out so who knows. I love this time of year also. Christmas is my favorite. smile.gif

We live so far out in the country we don't get the kiddies, thank the gods!

I normally smudge and meditate... I do not believe in the comercial aspects of this day of binding between the spirits and the flesh.

As for Chistmas... the Yule is one of my favorite celebrations...again not the comercial part.

I take the kids around the neighborhood, while the hubby stays home to hand out the candy. biggrin.gif

Afterwards, we go through all the candy and pick out what we don't like. That all goes into a plastic grocery bag, and I bring it to work to let my co-workers eat it. rolleyes.gif

Where are you moving to? I hope it's an easy move, and that you'll be happier there. Best of luck!

P.S. I'll be taking the girls Trick or Treating, while hubby hands out goodies here at home. Two questions popped up this year -- will additional friends come along with us, and should we all dress up (hubby too)? Both still being debated, though I'm inclined to dress up and bring on the friends! Hubby's been known to scare teens away with his routine, though, so I don't know....... vampire.gif

I try to limit myself to eating no more than two trick or treaters. Preferably the little ones, the big ones are too filling. jawdrop.gif blink.gif twisted.gif

While you are out and about this year remember the
Rules for Halloween:


=> When it appears that you have killed the monster, *never* check to see if
it's really dead.

=> Never read a book of demon summoning aloud, even as a joke.

=> Do not search the basement, especially if the power has just gone out.

=> If your children speak to you in Latin or any other language which they
should not know, or if they speak to you using a voice which is other than
their own, shoot them immediately. It will save you a lot of grief in the
long run. NOTE: It will probably take several rounds to kill them, so be
prepared.

=> When you have the benefit of numbers, *never* pair off and go it alone.

=> As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open portals to Hell.

=> Never stand in, on, above, below, beside, or anywhere near a grave, tomb,
crypt, mausoleum, or other house of the dead.

=> If you're searching for something which caused a noise and find out that
it's just the cat, *leave the room immediately if you value your life.*

=> If appliances start operating by themselves, move out.

=> Do not take *anything* from the dead.

=> If you find a town which looks deserted, it's probably for a reason. Take
the hint and stay away.

=> Don't fool with recombinant DNA technology unless you're sure you know
what you are doing.

=> If you're running from the monster, expect to trip or fall down at least
twice, more if you are of the female persuasion. Also note that, despite the
fact that you are running and the monster is merely shambling along, it's
still moving fast enough to catch up with you.

=> If your companions suddenly begin to exhibit uncharacteristic behavior
such as hissing, fascination for blood, glowing eyes, increasing hairiness,
and so on, get away from them as fast as possible.

=> Stay away from certain geographical locations, some of which are listed
here: Amityville, Elm Street, Transylvania, Nilbog (you're in trouble if you
recognize this one), the Bermuda Triangle, or any small town in Maine.

=> If your car runs out of gas at night, do not go to the nearby
deserted-looking house to phone for help.

=> Beware of strangers bearing tools such as chainsaws, staple guns, hedge
trimmers, electric carving knives, combines, lawnmowers, butane torches,
soldering irons, band saws, or any device made from deceased companions.

You forgot Crystal Lake (especially the campground) biggrin.gif !

Also, you forgot the cardinal rule: DO NOT HAVE SEX! The ones who don't get it are the ones who ain't gettin' any!

Urian,
How did your move go? (Been thinking of you.)

We don't get any trick or treaters in the apartments. I worked at the grocery store. You see many interesting things there and everyone is happy. I don't really celebrate it.
New thing I like this year though: Quaker oats makes oatmeal bars like a candy bar. Too many kids are getting cavities and obese.
