Halloween November 10, 2007

We had a very quiet Halloween this year…NO trick-or treaters at all! Now, mind you, we never get many…but this year I didn’t even hear them out on the avenue. I guess the Saturday before Halloween go-to-the-businesses has become the big event. And I have to admit, although I miss having the little guys (or big guys) come to the door, it is pretty fun to sit outside the bakery for a couple of hours in the nice fall sunshine, drinking coffee and watching hundreds of kids traipsing by. The results of my very unofficial survey of the spectacle is this:

Girls–all ages:

1. Princess

2. Witch

3. Cat (black)

Boys– all ages:

1. Superhero

2. Pirate

3. King/knight/medieval guy with cape, crown and sword.

Girls and Boys–small

1. Fuzzy animal PJs

Parents

No clear winner; about 60% in costume.

So, there you have it.
