Notice
This is the sign that will be taped to my front door tonight, because I'm not paticularly into Halloween.
And you thought I was a nice person - HA !
I don't particularly find it amusing to have groups of youths knocking on my door demanding goodies, so I will reduce them to dust if they do.
We will however, be dressing the kids up as the Grim Reaper and knocking on (recently very poorly) Nanny's door to scare the living daylights out of her. Because that, I will find funny
Hopefully, she'll get the joke too.
We'll also be dimming the lights and playing our favourite on-line Halloween game (the one with the Witch).
I hope you have a great night everyone.
( I wonder what the Halloween equivalent of Bah Humbug is ? )
The game is fabulous! (says a 40-something who played it from beginning to end!!!)

lol. i love your sign.
i'm afraid you may be tempting people to find out what will indeed happen if they do knock on your door.

Bah Pumpkin?
I love that picture of you as a witch.....
I live in a cemetery, but because we don't celebrate Halloween in Australia I haven't seen a SINGLE person in there causing trouble tonight. How lame is that?

Man I wish I could draw like that. What a great sign.
It does get annoying when the older kids come in their jeans for candy. Bah Humbugs.

It's "Get lost you lousy kids!"

Lynn, I think it's
"Boo, Humbug!"

You are too funny! We had to Trick or Treat with the kids last night (we're in the States) and they had a ball. Where I am in the US, they have a strange tradition of having the kids tell a joke before they get their treat. We handed out treats, and after a while, we were like "No, really. Please don't."
But having lived in the UK, it is certainly a tradition that jumped the pond so to speak. I lived there some 20 years ago, and I think in the 4 years we lived there, there was but ONE small group of trick-or-treaters. I think we gave them breath mints from my mother's purse.

Great sign - cracked me up. I'm mixed on the whole T-or-T thing. Seams like organized begging... but so much fun too. My peeve is the parents who bring babies. Really? You're going to give that sweet little one toothed bebe sugar? And that's why I give out gross healthy stuff to baby-treaters. I don't contribute to bad eating habits AND I get to piss of greedy parents in one easy swoop.

Ha ha ha, love the sign, after giving away a whole bag of sweets to kids who didn't even bother to say 'trick or treat' I wish I'd done the same!

And did the note actually work? Halloween is my birthday. I get the serious Boo-Humbugs and would love to crawl under the house until its over.

We should join a anti-trick or treater's club.
Check out my blog entry for my feelings on the subject.
BTW, I love to lurk on your blog and read your child's comments.
Hysterical

speaking as another who hates halloween, i love your sign.
what's with the teenagers trick-or-treating in big mobs? bleah.
Posted by: Lori | November 01, 2007 at 03:52 AM
Trick or treating is (barely) glorified begging. Especially for anyone over the age of 12.
Some kids just stoll around with a bag and don't even have a costume!!!

Boo humbug? I'm in the same boat-halloween does not ring my doorbell so to speak. I just can't get into scrounging up costumes for my 2 picky ones so they can beg for things I don't want them to have. And I love your sign!

Heh heh - good idea! We get teenagers with hoods over their heads in mid-september ringing the doorbell and saying "tricka treat like*" nearly every year.
Hope you had fun scaring poor old ladies!

Not like Halloween? Guess I won't put on my Halloween Queen get-up when we meet.
;-)
Thanks for the game links--me and the boy played them all. Such fun! He was too scared to play the witchie one without me by his side though. I do like the skiing one a lot.
