I'm a planner. I plan ahead. Ocassionally, too far ahead. Two weeks ago I bought a large bag of candy for our trick or treaters. I told the family: have a couple pieces and save the rest.
A day later, my husband realizes he can't resist the candy, so buys another bag for us to eat. A big bag. Fine. I guess I could eat a few pieces of chocolate. Who am I to argue!
He mixes the new bag of candy with the first bag! What? Why do that? Here's the confession: over the course of a week we eat both bags of candy. Both bags. Large bags of chocolate candy. Now that can't be healthy. I'm sure that was nearly $20 worth of candy.
I bought another large bag on Sunday. Yes, I had a couple pieces again! But that bag is ready for the beggars tonight.
Yes. Tonight. October 30th. Our town among others in this state trick or treat the night before Halloween. Oh! And you have to tell a joke at the door.
Joke: What do witches put in their hair?
Scare spray!
Have a great Halloween! I hope I can stay out of my daughter's candy. Well wish me luck anyway.

Glad to know some suburbs and towns are still doing it. My parents used to get countless kids all night trick-or-treating and my dad would buy like 10 bags of candy. Now they say it's rare even to get a couple of kids.

Here in CT, the night before Halloween is pretty quiet, thank god.

But back when we lived in town? We've had those Halloween chocolate candy mishaps ourselves.
