My daughter has been getting ready for this for weeks, she loves it. 10 is a pretty fun age
On the other hand, it can be kind of depressing down here in south Florida where so many people don't participate for cultural/religious reasons. Turn off your outside light so kids don't think you're giving out candy!!!

But do they send out their kids to collect?

On the New Rules segment of Real Time with Bill Maher Friday night he said women must admit that Hallowe'en is just an excuse to dress up like a whore. "If I've got a steady stream of half-dressed tarts showing up at my door all night, how will I know when my date arrives?" Very funny stuff....

Hallowe'en was always a big thing with myself and my son. It will be hard this year, as I am still in St Jean. I have sent him candy and will call him tonight before he goes out with friends and neighbours.
On one hand, my neighbourhood is awesome for Hallowe'en, as it is in the Q's and the MP's are constantly patrolling in cars and on foot. But on the other hand, because so many know how safe it is, there are kids that are bussed, yes I said bussed, in. You can see the buses park and the kids pile out to come to the safe neighbourhood. Needless to say, you go through alot of candy!

I saw on the news that people were starting to hand out more health-conscious treats such as cheesestrings and fruit. Also, instead of candy they give them little things of play-dough or colouring books. All I can say is I'm very glad the halloweens I participated in my youth kept me up for weeks straight twitchin' and talkingsuperfastbecauseijustateaboutthreepoundsofcandy.
Did anybody always find the previous years candy before you went out for the current year? That was always interesting. 'If it's still wrapped, it's still good!"

WOOOOO!!!! Free candy tonight ;D Im going to be an alien. I'll try an get some pics later on.
We have been giving out juice boxes - the real fruit ones - for several years now, and they are well received by both the kids and thier parents. Mind you, the kids are in such a good mood, they don't seem to mind it when I take aim and drop a box on one of their bags of chips.
