I grew up in a little town called Brigham City. We knew all of our neighbors (seems abnormal these days...so sad) and when we went trick-or-treating, we really went from house to house. It was always a fun time of year and one of the best parts was getting "boo'ed." Now back in the 80's-90's, in our neighborhood at least, instead of these cute signs that are all over these days, you would literally get a little ghost (made from tissue paper, or a paper towel, or something similar) to hang by your door or in your window. I remember helping my mom make them and loving it! A secretive neighbor would leave a little treat and note, along with the ghost and ring the doorbell and run! I don't know that we ever caught our doorbell-ditchers...but we knew what we had to do next!
We'd pick two new neighbors to spread some cheer for Halloween. Treats were carefully crafted and the delivery was planned to the "T." I am not one for scary movies or anything, so even being the doorbell-ditcher made my heart race for fear of being "caught." Good ol' days. Fast forward 20+ years, my boys and I have really loved keeping this little tradition going! Hopefully these will help either start a new tradition for you or keep one going :0)
