It is so wonderful when the adorable costumed youngsters ring the bell and chime "trick or treat", I gently open the door, welcome them with a sweet smile, and kindly hand them handfuls of candy. They turn to leave, pleased with their sugary treasures, and...<BR/>YAHHHHHHHHGGH! My husband jumps out of the bushes and scares the crap out of them!!! It's great!<BR/><BR/>Plus, It's the SLUTS NATIONAL HOLIDAY! When else can you dress like a total tramp and get away with it?! <BR/>What?! Pirate's never wore "FISH-net stockings?!

My students still do it at the high school level. And they don't even bother to dress up any more. The candy is for their "little sista." And then they eat all that candy in my room and leave a mess.Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05084291355850514807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472738462670456793.post-45212559755906511822008-09-29T19:33:00.000-04:002008-09-29T19:33:00.000-04:00yeah it is kinda a weird holiday tradition if you think about it that way. <BR/>But that doesn't mean that I will not be out there with my kids and people better ohh and ahh over themJenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10399156539354549499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472738462670456793.post-60838505187821671922008-09-29T19:27:00.000-04:002008-09-29T19:27:00.000-04:00most of the foreigners don't even celebrate it- they sit home in the dark that night and pretend they aren't home- WE KNOW YOU ARE HOME! GIVE THE KIDS SOME FUCKIN CANDY! <BR/><BR/>lol! <BR/><BR/>funny thing is, my parents admitted a few years back that they either go out, or sit home in the dark now becuase the kids from the "not so nice town over" go around their neighborhood w/out costumes and demand candy.

Wow. We don't do much Halloweening here in Australia. Some people must because there are ghoulish costumes to be bought, but nobody ever wears them, or gets seen in them, or trick-n-treats.
