I have nothing to add, but just clicked through and gave 1-click Hugs to those who steal from their children, whether for safety or (especially) self-gratification (get a shrink and maybe turn yourself into the local cops if that’s you, for kittens’ sake!) or have been the victim of such atrocities (if that's you and your parents are still alive, turn them over to authorities and get a shrink to share as a family.) You deserve better than that!
If I’m making a costume and taking the kid trick or treating then she as to kick a little back to the house. 😜7 -
Yes, but the pb to chocolate ratio on the trees is so much better! Save your outrage for the retailers playing Christmas carols in October
Maybe I'm just jaded... halloween candy AND christmas candy, but no Cadbury Mini Eggs (easter candy)??? #sadface
I've seen these, which are the Christmas variation of mini eggs.

You parents. Follow behind your trick or treaters in your Volvo and keep a written log of every address where they demand candy. Then, within 48 hours of trick or treating, make your children compose handwritten thank you cards to each and every address, stamp them and mail them. It's the polite way
Hey @newmeadow, how are you? I'm looking for some sage advice. Is white a really bad color to wear after Memorial Day? I live in SoCal and wore white pants out while shopping.
I am glad to see you about.3 -

With your long legs, trim thighs and northern European hip structure I'm going to say you can get away with it, especially in the west coast culture which is a little more loosey goosey than the coastal northeast.2 -

We are seriously loosey-goosey here, it's a love/hate relationship with California. And according to my genetic make-up, I am mostly Northern European with a 3% Neanderthal tilt, so, more of a long torsoed knuckle dragger than long-legged.
You've been missed.5 -
The only issue I have with Halloween is the small number of kids that stop here. I want a variety of candy but I don't want a lot of leftover so what to do???? in the meantime, I was at Michael's Crafts yesterday and found a necklace with flashing lighted green spiders I can weave in my hair to go along with my witch costume (including black velvet cloak lined with green satin). It was even 70% off!4

We never know. Some years we get flooded with trick-or-treaters, others it's just a trickle. Rain is in the forecast, so I'm thinking this year might be slow.0 -

Donate your leftover candy. Local non profits like a Boys and Girls Club, women's shelter, sports camp etc are usually more than happy to take donations.

I beg to differ!!!
I'm considered the loosest goose in the North East. I wear white after labor day and also wear red lipstick during work hours.
I believe that she should not wear the white pants unless she's walking a perfumed beagle and wearing a D&G trench coat.3 -

I call it a Halloween tax. It prepares the kids for adulthood. When they grow up and work, they have to give a share of their pay to taxes. When they are kids,I take Halloween candy just like a tax. I think it's a
life learning lesson. The tax rate in my home is currently 7% .8 -

Okay, but what a girl wears on a golf course isn't necessarily subject to the local rules of etiquette because that's a whole different world. Beagle-friendly environments are seemingly coming more into vogue, and a little Chanel #5 helps break the ice, yes.1 -

If only that Burberry coat hadn't been stolen. We could all go swimming with the fishes. Ugh. That has a different connotation here...2 -

Me, you, queen lizard, 100 proof, the beagle and a baggie of chlorine resistant goldfish from Woolworths can all go in search of the perfect swimming experience after we shop at Nieman's for the appropriate attire. We'll try and influence 100 Proof's fashion selections with some diplomatic counseling. But if she insists on something nontraditional and eclectic we'll smile and concede as she is very headstrong.
