Final Thoughts On NOT Turning Into A Monster

Rather than turning into a real monster this Halloween, buy a spooky top or a costume instead. Then, of course, take your kids trick-or-treating, throw a scary party or serve dinner from a boiling cauldron that is cooking a stew of eye of newt and toe of frog, wool of bat, and tongue of dog. Mostly, enjoy this holiday, candied apples, jack-o-lanterns and all.
