A couple of years ago, my youngest son even dressed up like a woman, and my son in law did also LOL...They were quite funny. I even dressed up like a witch years ago, when I sold Tupperware. I wore a black wig...had green make up, and even the nose with a wart on it. I REALLY looked like a witch. ha ha.Deb Murphree/Alabama Politicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494923918069847914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4192548357417510276.post-14938307605480077172009-10-16T04:04:42.746-05:002009-10-16T04:04:42.746-05:00hello, ms deb. ms. betsy!

I have encountered several people who are averse to the idea of trick or treating, but my family is not. The kids get dressed in their favorite costumes and we ll hound the streets with the others and go knocking on doors. Some of the neighbors are already waiting outside - yes, in the cold - dressed in some ghoulish costumes. I have told the boys the origin of this tradition so many times. I think there's nothing wrong with having a bit of fun.Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15848062536177293779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4192548357417510276.post-49142021477893201412009-10-15T16:06:25.170-05:002009-10-15T16:06:25.170-05:00hey Betsy How is your trip going?

I know you were going to your brother's memorial and then on to other places...tell George hello.<br /><br />I don't remember much about BSG in the form of Halloween, because my parents didn't let us trick or treat then...it was mostly going door to door collecting canned good for the poor and needy. Tell me about the soap and corn nights?Deb Murphree/Alabama Politicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494923918069847914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4192548357417510276.post-51265139276079103262009-10-15T13:36:45.244-05:002009-10-15T13:36:45.244-05:00Hi Deb, Halloween has changed through the years. ...Hi Deb, Halloween has changed through the years. I used to love it--and my kids loved it. These days, kids can't go 'trick or treating' like they could years ago. <br /><br />I like to see churches have "Trunk or Treat" these days along with fairs and things for kids at the church. Have you heard of Trunk or Treat??? Cars line up in the parking lot with their trunks open filled with goodies.. Kids come by and do their 'trick or treating' from the trunks of cars. It works well---and everyone knows everyone --so it's safe. <br /><br />I don't have any problems with the pagan meanings. I just love it that kids (and adults) dress up and have fun on Oct. 31..<br /><br />Do you remember the Soap Night and Corn Night in BSG--on the 2 nights before Halloween. We celebrated for 3 days.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Betsy--on my way home (on my laptop)Betsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.com
