Trick Or Treat - A Halloween Tradition

Trick or Treat - Smell My Feet - Give Me Something Good To Eat! These words are a Halloween tradition and have been uttered countless times over the years and will again come October 31. Are you ready for the parties and celebrations that will be here before you know it?

You need to make a list consisting of everything that must be done in preparation for this exciting holiday. It is not only the children who have to make their decision on who to masquerade as this year, you are invited as well.

Invited to participate as adults should - and to act like a kid again. Decorate your yard with pumpkins, scarecrows, and bales of hay. Plug the DVD in at the front entryway and play spooky, eerie sounds to greet your guests. Create a stuffed monster with an outfit filled with hay or old rags. Use an old mask on a ball or bucket as a face and set your creature on a chair, a swing, or standing under the tree.

There are many creative and totally unique ways to decorate both the outside and the inside of your home. Use pumpkins in your windows and as centerpieces for your tables; witches, ghosts and menacing monsters in your windows, on your walls, doorways and shelves also help to set the mood.

Don't forget the many visitors that could come to trick or treat on this special night. Be prepared with plenty of treats to hand out to the pirates, witches - both good and bad - the ghosts, skeletons, fairies, lady bugs and all the creatures that will be darkening your doorway.

Last, but surely not least, the Halloween costumes for everyone. There are parties to attend, or maybe you are hosting one? Dressing in disguise to celebrate at work? Or, go out to dinner at a special restaurant that encourages participation in the traditions of the holiday.

Halloween by all accounts, is a strange and peculiar holiday. The one night of the year that can fulfill your wildest fantasy, dress in costume, act (and look) silly, and it is all okay and widely accepted to do so.

Trick or treat time is a fun time. It is a time for parties and celebrating, so go have a good time, be safe and Happy Halloween. Trick or treat - a Halloween tradition - decorations, costumes and more. Explore Everything Halloween.
