The annual neighborhood trick-or-treat announcement flyers have finally been printed and are ready to be distributed to 125 houses throughout my development. In recent years, I have become the unofficial official flyer creator and distributor, which I do without complaint. Designed and printed by me (easy now that I only have to change the date from last year!), and distributed by my son and a few of his neighborhood friends (work smarter, not harder!).
And while I'm still disappointed with the meager two-hour window for trick-or-treating on a date before Halloween proper, I'm happy to see the annual orange-and-black flyers go out to all the neighbors, signaling the countdown to the big night.
We are getting closer! Are you ready?
If you had known that your HOA was so controlling, do you think you would have still purchased in that neighborhood? I think given that Halloween is on a Friday this year, they could have used the real date. Your flyer is adorable. That smiling jack makes me laugh.
ReplyDelete@Lady M - The trick-or-treat thing has always been on the Sunday before Halloween (which I strongly disagree with, especially the 5-7 time slot), but the other rules are all new. I think enough people in our development will voice enough backlash to keep it in check. I hope!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing good work, keeping these traditions alive -- despite the restrictions. Community is so important to Halloween, and vice versa. It starts with us!
