( PS.. did you see photos of the guys in CreedInk from a Halloween party in 2001? )

No I haven't....I'll have to check it out!! Thanx for the info! Is that the website or the magazine??

CreedInk the magazine.

If I may chime in my 2 1/2 cents here, I don't take Halloween as seriously as some I suppose. I don't deal in religious meanings or symbolisms. I don't consider it having my kids begging from strangers. My kids love to dress up, get very excited at their costumes every year. My husband or I take them around to all the houses in the neighborhood (all families we know, no strangers) and despite the fact that they are our neighbors, we still go through the candy to check for anything suspicious. But I wouldn't take away the joy in their faces every year for all the gold in Ft. Knox. It's a fun day for them. To me, it's about the kids, not the religions.

My kids don't look at it as mom has taken something fun away... they see it as something that they gain. See every year my father, who is in West Virginia, sends a huge package to the kids around Halloween. He takes these three huge 5 quart ice cream buckets and fills them with the kid's favorite candy. Then I take them to Sams Club and let them pick out for themselves tons of candy... enough to fill up another 5 quart ice cream bucket for each one of the kids. See then think this way is better. It's because when the go trick or treating they may get candy that they don't even like or old nasty out of date candy... but the way I do it they get exactly what they like. They have enough candy that way to last for months!

Either way our kids' dentists love us don't they?

[Lady Valkyrie]

lol yeah they do lol

Last year my Dad sent me a bucket of candy as well. lol I love my dad! He even sent me a chocolate cross for Easter this year.

I love religious momentos that I can eat.

Got my package from CreedInk a week or so ago. Love it. Love the CreedInk mag. and they'll send the next 3 over the course of the next year. The second should be out soon. Also, they sent the Screamline Tracks cd with Brother of Mine too. That was a bonus they never mentioned in the application process. Cool!
