Do You Do Halloween? Ever Had a Halloween Party?

It's just a little over a week away! Those little angels and super-heroes are gonna come knocking on your door...or will they? Times have changed so much. We have to think about safety on so many levels - for ourselves and our kids. The general rule of thumb these days is if you welcome those trick-or-treaters, leave your front porch light on. If you don't want them, then leave the light off. Not that everybody follows that rule, but, at least there's a "rule".

What about parties? At home? Pretty good idea, huh? A lot of churches, schools, and even neighborhoods are having "fall festivals" to keep the risks to a minimum, to have a lot of fun for the kids (us big kids too!), and make lots of new friends in the process. Keeping in mind that some people don't celebrate Halloween, and some celebrate it as a religious day, and some just don't like the commercialism surrounding it, have you ever thought about doing your own party? Maybe your neighborhood needs somebody to organize a party for the kids. What about a Thanksgiving party? So many holidays this time of year and that's a good chance to throw a party.

If you've got any good reason to throw a party, check out The Party Works site. If you can dream it up, they've probably already got it. There are birthday party theme packages, individual party supplies, and lots more. Oh, and yes, they do have Halloween party supplies and decor. Also, check out the article in this issue of WomenCorp magazine. It's titled "Halloween Traditions for the Not-So-Spooky Family". You'll love it!

Have a fabulous - and safe - weekend!
