Where was I?
Ah yes - in these parlous times, it helps to conserve one's resources wherever possible. Being a cheapskate helps.
Here is my Several Point Plan for Halloween:
- Malls usually have candy to give away during business hours. Have children dress in costume then run around collecting enormous bags full of sugar crud.
- Have children nap on the way home from the mall.
- Use forklift to unload bags of candy from van into the house. Sort immediately into 'Good Stuff' and 'Giveaway Stuff'
- After several hours of diligent sorting, go out to van and retrieve sleeping (or panicking, locked in the car) children.
- Refit costumes after consuming a quick and easy dinner of candy and licorice, then hurry your production workers (sorry - children) out the door to go around your neighbourhood collecting more goods.
- Pour mall candy into bowl by front door and proceed to recycle the stuff into the gaping bags of beggars appearing at your door for the next several hours.
- Trust me - your children will not notice that a great deal of their mall candy has disappeared. They still have the 'Good Stuff' anyway so who cares?
- Tuck exhausted production workers (oops again - I mean kids) into bed with visions of gumballs and chocolate covered raisins dancing in their sleep addled, candy encrusted brains.
