We should do this rule at halloween

Advice,Fashion & Cosmetics,Home Business

Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year over at "One Geek to Another", and so I was thrilled when the great folks at Flames Rising asked me to do a guest blog on etiquette for the spooky holiday this month! From my desk to yours, here's 13 ways to have an awesome (and polite!) Halloween! Think about Tricks – Pulling pranks is as much a part of traditional Halloween as gathering treats is, but there are degrees with everything. While I wouldn't ever actually encourage folks to pull Halloween pranks, I also realize that for those who are determined to play pranks, me saying not to won't stop them. What I will say, however is that tricks which cause permanent damage to property, or put others in danger are not only not okay, they're illegal. If you MUST prank, limit your tricks to things which don't hurt anyone or anything, and which can be cleaned up with soap and water and a bit of elbow grease. Broken windows, damaged paint jobs or physical injuries are not just mean (and potentially could get you arrested!) they show a decided lack of finesse and intellect. Anyone can key a car or throw a rock – Do some research, make some plans, and stage something amazing (and non-dangerous!) if you're going to do tricks rather than treats! Oh, and as a related aside? Don't steal or smash Jack-o-Lanterns. As the mom who has had to deal with many years of post-Halloween tears, I can tell you honestly, you're likely making little kids cry if you do. Carving pumpkins is a popular holiday pastime for families and kids get strangely attached to their little squash-buddies. Finding them scattered in the street in chunks ranks just below seeing a family pet as road-kill for a kindergartener. Don't do it. It's just mean. Don't Scare the Little Ones Too Badly! – If you've got a really creepy costume to answer the door, or you decorate your house from sidewalk to front porch in graveyard chic – remember that what can be delightfully frightening to older kids and adults can terrify toddlers and young kids. Before jumping out of bushes, screaming when you open doors or leaping out of fake coffins at Trick-or-Treaters, take a quick glance to make sure they're of an appropriate age-group to enjoy such a scare. Save the best frights for those who can really appreciate them. You'll have more fun, and the parents of the little kids will be grateful. Having to take home a hysterical Trick-or-Treater who has been scared witless on their first time out is no fun for anyone. I'm an author of "One Geek to Another" a weekly column of advice and etiquette for the modern lifestyle. I also writes professionally in the fashion styles.
