I am from the old, old school that gives out BAGS with quite a few good candies in them. You can't find trick-or-treat bags in stores anymore, so I drew scary pictures on paper lunch sacks.
Kids did not know what to make of it. You might have thought I was handing them gold bullion.
Too bad only a dozen got to experience the booty. The rest got dumped out of the individual bags into the TROUGH that is my office kitchen, where it all promptly disappeared in true ghostly fashion.
Next year, I'm gonna skip tricks or treats altogether, and get to that really cool local Haunted House maze right when they open.
Wanna throw a really good Halloween party next time the holiday falls on a Friday or Saturday, but I guess that's some years off.
