At my home-home, as I like to call it, our neighborhood goes crazy for Halloween. It's not a big subdivision, but people come who don't live there and drop their kids off - it's a very small town, so the crime risk is low and one of our four police officer patrol streets too, so the kids are safe. Anyway, the residents get their lawn chairs and sit in their driveways. My parents love it! My mom makes huge Halloween bags for the neighborhood kids and then smaller treat bags for the other kids. This year I think the final count was about 150 bags and they usually run out. It's insane! Another neighbor hooks up his four-wheeler and makes a hayride, and so on and so forth. I've never actually been there for one of these - I was in college when we moved there and then I moved down here, so I've only heard stories, but next year I might go home to witness it for myself.
Since I'm not going to be giving out any candy today, I thought I would share with you my Favorite Halloween candy EVER! Yum!
It's complete sugar, which is why I don't buy said candy, but yesterday at work, some saintly woman had brought Autumn mix - you know with candy and indian corn and those cute pumpkins - and put it right next to the coffee maker. It seriously made my day!
Happy Halloween Everyone!

I miss "real Halloween" as I refer to it - Halloween in a neighborhood, with houses decorated, and little kids running around. It is not the same in NYC. And yes, Roll Tide Roll!
Thats what I hated about my old apartment. They wouldn't let anybody go trick-or-treating and didn't even have a bash! You could donate candy to the main office, but it was full of fat old ladies that are alwasy grouchy so I bet they would just eat it all beacuse the kids would be scared of catching bitchitis if they went near! H
Candy corn is so delicious...
I miss passing out candy so much. Once we got "too old" to trick or treat, my friends and I used to pass out candy ever year together at someone's house.
