I trust you went to Costco to buy your candy, you're in Ut now.

Nah, Winco. It was sort of a last minute, "Oh yeah, we should probably get some of that for tomorrow." when we realized this last Sunday, that Monday was Halloween.

We adopted this Halloween back in 2000, why I dont know it really has nothing to do with us down here, but the kids love it though I hate it when kids are screaming at my door trick or treat. Go away!
This time round though I thought of an idea I left out a bunch of bananas near my front door with a note: Lollies are bad for your teeth. The bananas were still there this morning but I never had one kid knocking at my door.

As you might infer from the pictures that followed mine, giving out candy to tiny costumed visitors is not the only Halloween tradition that might eventually get adopted by your fair country.

There's also the tradition of festooning with toilet paper the homes and property of Halloween "Scrooges" who seem unwilling to get into the proper holiday spirit. This is known, at least in these parts, as "TP'ing" someone. Eggs and shaving cream may also be involved.
