Hey Everyone,
I honestly feel sorry for parents these days. Apparently, it's not enough that they spend mass amounts of money on costumes and candy, but now people are expected to give "Boo Baskets" (like Easter baskets, but for Halloween) to their kids and significant others.
I think most of us in these threads are fairly sensible (and frugal!) people, but just for fun -- what kinds of booty did you hope for as a kid (or even now) in you Halloween stash? (My Mom used to give us a new Christmas ornament every year on Halloween, ironically.)
And this thread isn't just for Halloween of course -- we could easily, and probably will, do versions of this for Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter... And this is not a debate on whether or not holidays should be celebrated -- if you don't feel it's right, don't celebrate it; if you believe you have a Godly motive and way of celebrating, go right ahead!
Rather, this is meant to be a fun look at what kinds of treats people might look forward to at certain times of the year!
I'm going to write a poll (but it only allows about 10 answers) based on a list of the Most Favorite Halloween Candy. It will be multiple choice and we'll be able to see who answers what
.
But obviously, the answers will be limited, so that's why you need to come back and post an answer here.
As for me, the holidays don't mean much to me anymore, but a friend and I send pictures of seasonal decor in our regions that we find adorable (and I occasionally splurge on a holiday-themed kitchen towel, even though I don't cook much.)
So I guess I'd like my Boo Basket to have candy (of course!) and maybe one of these:
After all, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!
How about you?
What Halloween goodies would be on your wish list?
