Self-Serve Halloween

Written by Gail DeBole
October 2014

The goblins at this house are not feeling well
And seem to be all cast under a spell
So please help yourselves on this Halloween night
To one or two “treats.”
Taking more wouldn’t be right.
Please don’t take three and 
Then leave in haste
So that trick or treaters after you
Have nothing to taste!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!!

Note: Wrote and posted this on our front door for Trick or Treaters when we didn't feel well and could not go to the door. We left a basket of candy on the porch, and this actually worked out very well. You are welcome to print and use this post if there is a reason you cannot go to your front door on Halloween night.

Great suggestions for parents to consider. Children celebrating Halloween may not realize how much sugar they've consumed. Best wishes, Carolyn
