Halloween Again!

Here we are at Halloween again –jebus, can you believe it’s already Halloween? - and as we all know, it’s one of my favorite holidays of the year. And again, I will be doing the same thing that I did last year, and the year before that, and the year before that. We all remember what happened last year! If not, you can click here and read the story.

Being that I have done this for a couple of years now, I suspect that the little boos and ghouls are on to my antics. Because I suspect that the gig is indeed up, I have added a glowing sword – no, not a light saber – and a fog machine to the repertoire. When the costumed kiddies approach I will give them a blast of fog and activate the glow sword! I suspect that I will still give them a decent fright. Once I give them my trick, I will hand out the treats. Jenne reminded me that my goal is too give out ALL of the candy and not to frighten the little creatures of the night so much. Yeah, right. You see, she always buys five bags of candy and the first year I did the scare routine I only gave away – maybe – three bags. We had a lot of leftovers that we didn’t need. Last year she bought the same amount of candy and I actually only ‘officially’ gave away three bags, that being given away in equal amounts to each child brave enough to approach. The last few kids were given handfuls of sweets just to get rid of it. It’s not what Jenne had in mind, but I did meet her goal of giving it all away. You see, she was not specific as too how or how much to give to each child. She left that detail up to me, so I can’t be blamed. It’s sweet how that works. But do you know the real scary part about Halloween? It’s that there’s only eight weeks from now until Christmas!
