Last year, we had a difficult time getting the trick-or-treaters to come to our place. Half way through the night, we put up Christmas lights on the bushes and the came. This year, we made very convincing jack-o-lanterns.
We placed them strategically and propped our gate open. It worked! We didn't have to chase the trick-or-treaters down the street to give them candy. They came to us ... and we seemed less crazy to the neighbors.
Later, a Private Jane and a Dame in Trouble went to a Halloween party thrown by a
Jungian couple we met last fall at a restaurant. Before telling you about the party, you should know that this dame really had troubles.
During the party, we were given slips of papers with letters. We then had to team up with others with the same letter and act out a skit. The Private Jane determined that the butler did it and took care of matters. The Dame in Trouble was given a hope by an elf. The elf and the jester wanted her to find meaning, the jester didn't do a very good job and the dame in trouble got all the money that she hoped for. In the end, the Dame's skit won the best skit award and she went home with a marzipan jack-o-lantern.
