Ick.We used to live in our town's Halloween Central, where we would get nearly 800 trick or treaters a night. That not a typo. 800. They used to come from towns all over to go down our street.Now we live in the woods and get zero. So we go down to Halloween Central and mooch off those folks instead. It's definitely cheaper this way.Alias Motherhttp://aliasmother.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854422.post-48448840178108339772009-11-02T13:01:40.000-08:002009-11-02T13:01:40.000-08:00Agreed.
