I don't do Halloween as I figure we'll all be dead soon enough! Back in the 50s and 60s it was a fun type for little kids that did "Halloween Apples" but in the last 2 decades it seems that big business has taken over. The local Dollar Stores have their Halloween junk out on display about 2 months before this 1 day "festival". I have enough media news about dying people so I don't need to celebrate the day of the dead.

In Scotland when I was a kid, ''Halloween apples'' was called ''Dookin' for apples''...it meant getting floating apples out of the water using just your teeth, or kneeling on the back of a chair and dropping a fork from your mouth to spear them.

I wonder if kids do that today..anyone know ?

My friends and I did when we were young. There were only two houses that offered "bobbing for apples" as we called it.

Folks maybe we could keep it to 3 pictures per day per person, instead of stomping the thread?
