Debbie Cannon sent this idea to me and said that her neighborhood does this sweet little “BOO” tradition.  I thought it was a neat idea and a way to get kids excited about blessing another family as a kick off to the holiday season! The instructions are below. I must give the blog www.skiptomylou.org the credit for this one. The blog has some great creative family ideas worth checkin out!

I’m not sure I can take on getting my whole neighborhood on board with this…at least not this year.

BUT…I do know of a few families on our street who need a little cheer up! I think at the very least…this could be a new Halloween family tradition. We will be preparing a little treat, a kind note and some home made goodies for two families. Then, pray for them before dropping off the loot.

I’m interested to know….any other mom’s have some Halloween traditions that incorporates their faith?

How to BOO!  Here you go, a free printable how to boo! We love to boo! Each year we come up with a new way to go booing. This year we will use this simple boo sign complete with instructions and gift tags. How to ‘BOO’ Download First make two copies of the booing instructions. We copied ours on cardstock. Once you have your copies, cut apart the ghost and hang on your window so everyone knows you have already been booed. Gather some fun treats for two friends, anything will do. It might be a basket or bag filled with activities ( pumpkin carving items, stickers, small game, Halloween decorations etc). The dollar store can be a great place to find things. A plate of homemade goodies is another nice gift. Cut out and attach the gift tags. Now you are ready to sneak over to your friend’s door and ding the doorbell and dash– before anyone sees! Let the booing begin! You might be interested in these booing ideas: How to start the “Boo” in your neighborhood Printable Ghost Door Hanger for “Booing” Printable “Booing” Poem
