I just had a kid some to my door (hs age) with a brown paper lunch bag to hold his candy! I could not believe it.
I'm afraid my response would be a very un-PC "Are you fucking kidding me?" Did s/he at least have a costume!?
No CANDY! And I'm an insomniac, so JUST TRY to egg my house. I will cut you.
No one has shown up at my house yet. I do see what looks like a few groups of kids on the next block down.
Chimenea, Tep?
ION, I am in flannel PJ's, with 7UP with real sugar, and a warm kitty on lap. Methinks (as far as I can think right now, which isn't much) that I will be early to bed tonight.
Have to finish a couple of paragraphs, get my stuff ready to go for tomorrow morning first.
Slogging...through...brain...mud...
Heh. Little neighbor kid came by dressed up as Captain Kirk. He got a double batch of candy.
Chimenea, Tep?
That's WAY too classy for my neighborhood. A hobo trashcan on fire IS my neighborhood's version of a chimenea.
I just had a couple of little kids. However, the teenagers with them were taking large handfuls of candy too.
Still a couple late ones coming by -- I'd guesstimate 25 kids in little bunches. Some surprisingly good makeup, and one really great homemade costume -- kid in a bathrobe with a "shower" over his head like a giant halo.
What's wrong with a brown paper lunch bag for trick or treating?
The Alters had a theme this year.
No kids here. I kind of miss 'em.
That's why I refuse to call myself a Wiccan. I'm a hedge witch, dammit. I borrow from a lot of belief and ritual systems.
Yup. In fact, I doubt I'm even that formal.
I just feel like it isn't really big or sturdy enough. Also: no effort went into the trick/treat bag at all.
At least use an old pillowcase. I thought that was the default. Isn't it?
