I got "Boo-ed" today!!  |
| |
|  Well, actually it was last night, but I found it this morning. I have never heard of this before, but it seems really neat.
OK, we opened our front door to go out today and found a Halloween gift bag with a balloon on our porch, and a note sayed we had been boo-ed. Inside was a poem with a paper ghost. The poem was this:
***
The Story of Boo-ing
Late last night, we left you a treat,
The tradition is fun, one we hope you're complete
Take the ghost and pit or tape it by your door
To let others know you need ghosting no more.
Now it's your duty to pass on the surprise,
To two more families we must advise.
Gather some treats and deliver them soon, within two nights,
Under the light of the moon.
Include a ghost with each package you give,
Along with this poem for the tradition to live.
***
There are some Halloween pictures on the note, so it's really cute! There were some candles, a towel, some buttons and knick-knacks in the bag - all relating to Halloween. I'll put one of my 2 out in the morning when I go for my walk (not many people are up and around at 6am). I'll do the other one Tuesday morning.
It's not too late to start something like this in your community, and it looks like it's lots of fun!!!

| |  We did this in our school last year, and the neighborhoods around. It is fun, until you meet up with people who do not do holidays because of religious beliefs. I do not know how it would work this year.

| | I live in a pretty small neighborhood - I think less than 200 houses. We're all pretty into the community, so I don't think it would cause hard feelings if someone got one and didn't want to participate. What I think they'd do is just give their gift bag away to someone else and not keep the stuff. | | | |

| | I had never heard of it before either - but it was really nice seeing all the ghosts on peoples doors (which I hadn't really noticed before...) that were participating! Good Luck! | | | |

| |  Target has Boo-ing kits so you don't have to try to come up with your own. At least they did a couple of weeks ago. I think this idea is so cute!

| | AW MAN!! I went to the party store and spent about $20 on stuff last night. And it figures, it's been raining ever since so I can't even go leave something for my 2nd person I have to do. Hopefully it wont be raining in the morning. I'll have to remember Target for next year! | | | |

| |  Oh how I love this idea. And I know of just the perfect person to do this too. She left cat figurines decorating our porch after one of our cats died. One looked just like our cat that died. It took us a week to figure out it was her and then she admitted it. She did not know that the cat had died the day before. I told her it hepled us and that she was a real Angel. Thanks for the post!!

| | Oh that's so cool!!! Our weather has been very rainy (finally) for the last couple nights so I haven't been able to get my 2nd "boo" out. I'll do it tonight though because the rain has stopped. It's been lots of fun and my husband keeps asking me who I'm "boo-ing"!!! | | | |

| | Thanks for the boo-st!! Yes, I was a bit negative about 4 weeks ago (and it's swinging around again...) but it was really cool to have some community spirit going around. I finally got my 2nd boo out yesterday because we had so much rain lately. It's really neat and community oriented - seeing everyone's ghosts on their doors because they've been boo-ed!!
Good luck next year with it - I hope we do it too!! | | | |

| | If you start it around the first of October, it's a good chance everyone in the neighborhood will have gotten one by Halloween. I thought it was lots of fun! | | | |
