Make Halloween Happy

Knocking on doors ain't that hard, people.

We hope you have a good time with the kiddos tonight. Now that you've made Halloween fair and now that your Halloween has become a Hallow-green (get it?), build on our suggestion from last year and use the excuse of tricks and treats to get to know your neighbors. Linger a bit and learn some names. Let people know you're available and happy to help out. Our lives become more fragmented every day, and our longing for community grows ever deeper. Halloween reminds us it's okay to talk to our neighbors. Let's take advantage of that throughout the year.

We kept our door open in the apartment complex where we've lived for almost a year. Napster's Spooky Mix was playing, and our decorations were very welcoming. It turned out that we got "trick or treaters" of all ages--people we see all the time but rarely talk to stopped by to say hello. We didn't discriminate--everybody, young and old, got treats at our door. (Not to mention the joy of "The Monster Mash" playing in their heads for the rest of the night!)
