Here we are, well into the fall and Halloween is just around the corner. It sure isn’t what it used to be for kids. We wandered the streets, trying our best to fill up our bags with candy. These days you are better off picking & choosing which houses to take your kids too. Or just attend a neighborhood/local Halloween party and call it a day. Tricks are one thing that hasn’t changed much, from “Ding Dong Ditch” to “Papering your trees”. The only trick I remember (hearing about, because I never indulged in such trickery) was “Egging.” Eggs cost too much now…..thank God!
Back in the day, Nana would have been slowing purchasing candy since the middle of September, every time she went food shopping. Kids would come in droves through our neighborhood. Nana always had the “GOOD” candy, and rarely had much candy leftover by the end of the night. She always hid her favorite candy in her secret hiding place, which wasn't a secret to me....lol
Whatever you decide to do with your kids, just make sure they are safe….properly dressed and supervised. Let’s make this a priority. And if you end up having a lot of goodies leftover……take them to work and get them out of your house. Remember the holidays are upon us.
I will be posting some recipes in the upcoming blogs for the holidays. Stay tuned.
