Trick or Treat! Here are a few tips on Halloween Etiquette:
1. While we sincerely hope that you all will participate in handing out candy to trick-or-treaters please remember too turn you porch lights and front of the house lights off if you won't be home or do no intend on passing out candy.
2. Looking at those cute little faces can make it very tempting to give them handfuls of candy but 1-2 pieces per child should be sufficient enough.
3. Wouldn't it be great if we could make handmade treats from the heart to hand out to the kiddos? Unfortunately, if you do this you hard work may not be appreciated by parents. Most parents will only let their children accept and/or eat pre-wrapped candy so make a trip to your local drug store and stock up!
4. Bring hand sanitizer! With all of those little hands in the pot picking out candy germs can be easily spread. Frequently use hand sanitizer on your kids hands to protect them as well as others.
5. If you are in the car instead of at home on Halloween (which happens to fall on a Saturday night this year) PLEASE drive carefully and much slower than usual through the neighborhoods.
6. Have fun and get into the spooky spirit.....Halloween only comes once a year!
