Now these are the things you will need to do:
'Tis better giving than receiving,
We all know this is true,
So show your love to all the world and remember,
Now the phantom is You!
You leave your candy stash outside your bedroom door. In the
morning, the candy is gone and a thank you gift is left in its place.
The 'quality' of the gift depends on the quantity of candy
left.
So...if you just leave a little bit you'll get a little gift. But if you leave
a lot, you'll get a CD or a book or something like that!
The Halloween Witch eats all the candy instead of the child!
(attach poem to a small plastic pumpkin filled with candy corn)
I started to carve a pumpkin
With my carving knife and scoop.
But the pumpkin got so scared
He took a little poop.
It looked so cute and funny
Just like a candy treat.
So I'm sharing it with you now
Because you're so sweet.

The most complicated costume I ever made was when my oldest granddaughter was 7. Staci, is very easy going. Usually you ask her what she wants to be for Halloween and she says "I don't know". Then you say "How would you like to be a clown?" and she says "Yeah, sure!"
However that year it was different. Her mother asked her what she wanted to be and she promptly replied "A medieval princess". So off we went to the store for pattern, fabric, etc. I spent considerable time cutting and sewing (I hate those leg-o'mutton sleeves) and gluing on beads, etc. Finally the dress, vest and headpiece were ready to try on.
At that point her mother asked how she knew she wanted to be a medieval princess.
She said it was just something she heard someone say.
Then her mother asked her how she knew what it was.
Staci said "Well, no, but I knew it had to be pretty because princesses always are. And I thought it would not be as bad as
a witch - just sort of "mid-evil".
She loved the costume in spite of the fact that she had no idea what she was really going to be.
A few years later my daughter's church was having a 'fall party'. They restrict the kind of costumes the kids can wear - no monsters, witches, ghosts, etc. They encourage costumes relating to historical or biblical characters.
When Jodi explained it to the girls, Kelsey (who was 10) said "I want to be the devil".
When Jodi told her that wasn't appropriate she said "why not, he's all over the place in the bible?"
A couple was invited to a Halloween Party. She got a terrible headache and told her husband to go to the party alone. He protested, but she said there was no need of his good time being spoiled.
After taking an aspirin and sleeping for an hour, the wife awakened without pain and decided to go the party. Since her husband didn't know what her costume was, she thought she would have fun seeing how he acted when she wasn't around. She soon spotted her husband dancing and flirting with all the women.
The wife started flirting back and eventually he whispered a proposition in her ear. They went outside to one of the cars and had a good time. Just before unmasking at midnight, she slipped away, went home, hid her costume and got into bed. When he got home she asked what kind of a time he had.
He said: "You know I never have much fun when you're not there."
She asked: "Did you dance much?"
He said: "I never even danced once. Pete and me and some other guys went in the den and played poker all evening. But you're not going to believe what happened to the guy I loaned my costume to. . ."
