Halloween
(By Shawna)
Our unusual Halloween tradition - A few years ago my husband was thumbing through channels on the TV after trick-or-treating. He came across the BYU channel which was showing a silent movie - The General with Buster Keaton. We all loved it, even our youngest who was 6 years old at the time! We purchased the DVD and now each Halloween night, after trick-or-treating, we have fun watching The General together. It is unusual, but it wouldn't seem like Halloween without it.

Pillowcases
So I am not sure where to post this, but if anyone is interested in making a pillowcase (Halloween) I have a link for you that will take you to my BLOG with more information.

(By Maren) When I was a kid, we never went door-to-door trick-or-treating. We went Halloween caroling with fun Halloween songs that our grandma taught us. My parents would load us all in the car and we'd go visit my dad's home teaching families, who were elderly or housebound or inactive members. We didn't get as much candy that way, and we weren't always super excited to perform, but we ended up feeling glad to see the smiles on the faces of those we visited.
Halloween
(By Adria) Instead of traditional trick-or-treating, my kids dress up in their costumes and make-up and we deliver homemade cookies to our neighbors.
