Well there’ll be music all around you, You should see the way it feels

1. nickels

2. toothbrushes

3. toothpaste samples

4. those nasty little "hallowe'en toffees" and/or that purple gum in the yellow box that tasted like soap.

Next: 3 hallowe'en treats you need to buy extra of because it won't last until the day. 

(ps Andi - thanks for the ideas.  I think I'll try the scarecrow and just wear my yard work clothes. Not sure how the Muslim students would respond to the belly-dancer!)

2.Wunderbar

1) Caramel Apple Martini- yum!

2) Tootsie Roll

3 Halloween traditions you had/have

always tried to dress as something "traditionally" halloweeny ie: no princesses, clowns, movie characters, etc

costumes (except for minor accessories) had to be made with stuff from around the house

we always had hotdogs for dinner before going out as a kid,too.  Probably because they were quick and easy.
