Tricks for All Those Treats
Forget ghosts and goblins. The scariest thing about Halloween is being
surrounded by all those bite-size treats just begging to be eaten by you and
your kids. Here is what to do with those bulging goodie bags:
Buy
what you hate. Distribute suckers, for instance, if you are a chocaholic –
you will not be as tempted to munch on any leftovers. Or avoid edibles
altogether and give out stickers or party favors.
Give your kids –
and yourself – a candy budget. It is Halloween, after all. Vow to limit
yourself to just one of your all-time favorites each day over the Halloween
weekend. Such planned splurges can keep you from binging on the goods.
Establish a new tradition. Let little ones pick 10 pieces of candy to
keep. Then leave the rest for the “Halloween Fairy,” (aka you) who, in the
dead of the night, will spirit it away and leave a gift in its place.
