Wait til the day after when the stores are stuck with ton of leftovers. Why is it every year the stores have tons of candy that is unsold? Wouldn't you think they would cut back so they did not have to send it back?

Bought 150 piece bag of chocolate candy yesterday at Costco to cover the usual 100-ish kids who'll show up on the 31st.

So far the package remains unopened. Hoping to keep it that way until Halloween evening.

Being an introvert, the thought of a 100 kids showing up at my door is a real Holloween horror scenario.

I stopped by a nearby "pumpkin patch" yesterday and they wanted !!!$20!!!! for a good-sized pumpkin (large but not what you'd call blue-ribbon-winning size). Their cheapest pumpkin was $10. It sure didn't look like they were selling very many.

So, I went to WallyMart and got a huge one for $3.85.

I can't wait to carve it.

Interesting enough, it had a sticker on it that said "Not intended for consumption". I guess they're grown for size and looks, not eating. Not that I had any intention of doing so...……..years ago, I tried to make a pumpkin pie from a fresh pumpkin and it was a flop; couldn't get the pumpkin pulp smooth enough, no matter how long I pureed it.

Kids and Halloween = lots of running about, lots of noise, annoying phrases...... then there'll be the same again at the end of December...........Hmmm, think I'll fill the moat up, release the piranhas and lift the drawbridge until February.

We just pretend we're not at home..... once you open the door to one lot, then you're answering the door to hundreds...

I have no choice. I cannot get to the door now due to my knees. I turn off porch lites and ignore any who don't get the hint.

Ruth, I also remember "Anything for Halloween?" in northern NJ, where I grew up. Maybe that's only a New Jerseyism?

We don't get any trick or treaters where I live now. Maybe because it's a gated community, and hard to get in, especially for kids.
