[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a WOHM and don't participate in Boo-ing anymore, but not because of the "oh I have no time and am oh-so-busy factor"; it's not actually that taxing to buy some candy/crap and put it in a bag with a note, etc.

What I hate about it (and why I stopped passing it on) is the environmental factor. We just don't need or use more Cheap Plastic Crap. It's enough, already. Kids get enough junk between the school parties/neighborhood parade/actual H'ween night. No mas![/quote]

Yeah, I don't get the impression that these "Boo" treats consist of a pack of candy corn thrown on someone's doorstep.  These parents (let's admit it - MOMs!) put together elaborate treat bags and expect their neighbors to do the same for their kid.

I'm the poster you're responding to. When I did participate, it was usually a few treats (two bags of gummies, two bags of pretzels, a few pencils, some stickers) in a paper bag on which I drew a pumpkin or a ghost or some such. (I do like to draw, and I'm pretty good at basic stuff like that.) I'm sure people do elaborate things, but like much of life, you can kind of make it as hard or as easy as you want to.

I'm just out now because there's enough plastic crap and pencils and pretzels out there in the world, you know?[/quote]
