Halloween past

Nothing like dressing up for Halloween.

Look at these children from Halloween .

A grandmother pretends she doesn't know who you are on Halloween.

Facts
Cranberries are sorted for ripeness by bouncing them; a fully ripened cranberry can be dribbled like a basketball.
St. Paul, Minnesota was originally called 'Pigs Eye'.
The Grateful Dead were once called 'The Warlocks'.
Reindeer milk has more fat than cow milk.
The 'L.L.' in L.L. Bean stands for 'Leon Leonwood'.

Tip
Cloth or canvas shopping bags, or even pillowcases, make terrific eco-friendly alternatives to paper or plastic bags, or to the molded plastic jack-o-lanterns so many kids use to collect candy at Halloween.
