Happy Halloween!


Happy Halloween! Here at Smellityet, we've made recognizing this special holiday a tradition. While we do mention New Years, Winter Celebrations, and Earth Day, Halloween has remained our prominent day.
A little history on the subject, Halloween originated in England where several influences and cultures have changed and merged their autumn festivities into the holiday, including days to honor harvest, respect for ancestors, and supernatural belief. If you're interested or would care for a visual, see BrainPOP's Halloween video featured today for free.

With a little Dr. Suess in mind, I chose to write a poem this evening:

What's your Halloween tradition?
What do you do?
Did you throw on a blanket,
and scare your friends with a "boo"?

What's your Halloween tradition?
What do you do?
Are you a mummy who's falling apart?
Have your tried staples or glue?

What's your Halloween tradition?
What do you do?
Will you dress up as a student?
Tomorrow your homework is due?

What's your Halloween tradition?
What do you do?
Are you Sherlock Holmes?
"It was quite elementary… I've found a clue!"

What's your Halloween tradition?
What do you do?
Are you a wicked witch?
Will you make me some organic rat stew?

What's your Halloween tradition?
What do you do?
Are you a brain-seeking zombie?
Or just down with the flu?

What's your Halloween tradition?
What do you do?
Are you a menacing pirate?
Where's your loyal, seafaring crew?

What's your Halloween tradition?
What do you do?
A futuristic robot? Time travel?
Yahoo!

What's your Halloween tradition?
What do you do?
Are you the iPhone 5?
A product oh-so-new?

What's your Halloween tradition?
What do you do?
Are you a big, lovable cow?
Yes? No? Moo?

What's your Halloween tradition?
What do you do?
Do you present your favorite T-shirt and a nice little smile?
Do you just be you?

Halloween

Happy Halloween! Trick or treat!

Boo!

Ahhh!

Boo!

Ahhhh!

Boo-

          Okay, stop with ahhh and booing! What was your costume? I'd rather stay home and give out candy and to the kids who ring the doorbell. During Halloween in my family, it's better to come later because at that time, we try to get rid of the extra candy in the candy bowl so we don't end up eating it (which is when my shift is over). Anyways...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! HOPE YOU GET A LOT OF CANDY!

HA!

HA!

HA!

Stock Up On Candy

Warning! When kids ring your doorbell on Halloween, you will need candy. Sometimes, people don't predict how many kids are coming, and run out of candy. Here are some ways to get candy if you’re in the middle of Halloween, and can't get candy:

1. Try to auction off other food/e.t.c. for pieces of candy. This would seem new to kids, so you could get more supply of candy. Ex: Gelatin (My uncle tried using gelatin, and his highest auction was 50 pieces of candy.)

2. Have your children come back from trick-or-treating, and make them look through their container of candy. Have them toss out the candy they don't like, and put those in your candy bowl.

Hope this helps, and now you won't have to go to the store to get more candy, and then come back and find out that Halloween is over. (That really makes people mad because they wasted their money, and it is recession time.)
