Holidays - October 2006

Halloween is just catching on in this country (Australia), and I am a bit at a loss to know how to respond to kids who come and ask for trick or treats. I know you can give them candy or treats, but do I have the 'trick' option? Is it OK to theow cold water over them?

I'd like to know any suggestions please, on good deeds you can do secretly for Thanksgiving. I don' t mean helping at a homeless shelter or soup kitchen by being seen and heard. Just doing a good deed anonymously. Any suggestion helps.

I have a Halloween party this Saturday and I've finally thought of a decent idea. My friends always say I'm so random, so I thought this would be perfect. I have the local Goodwill at my disposal and that's bascially it (along with everything in my house). Does anyone have any ideas on what to wear, how to do my hair, or makeup? Thanks!

I want to be a hula dancer or a cat.
How do I make a tail for the cat? I can't find any nowhere.
How do I do the Hula girl thing?

i will wear an old pink lacey bridesmaide's dress from the 70's. my hair will be up in fountain pigtails all teased and knotted looking all nasty. sporty socks rolled over under cross-trainers. ugly clip on earings and ugly glasses. i'm also going to powder my face like pure white with red blush in circles on my face and hot red lipstick. my sash will say prom queen on the front and reject on the back. what do you think?

I can either: a) go trick or treating with friends and feel guilty about skipping this geometry class I'm taking thats advanced and not anyway involved in school or b) go to the class and feel really left out.

I really can't decide because if I go trick or treating my mom will be angry and if I go to class I'll feel terrible. I JUST CAN'T WIN! I'm not allowed to do both though.....Help!

Last year a friend of mine had a little snow sled under her Christmas tree, and she had a cute bendable snowman sitting on a branch of her tree. It was so cute. I am looking for ideas for this year- I dont want to copy- but I want something cute and original.

Also, I can't go out and buy one. Stores generally carry costumes for little kids, and it's a high school costume party I'm going to. And I can't afford the rent fee at my local costume supplier.

If anyone knows a good home-crafted costume idea, I'd love to hear it. My available supplies include the usual household items, plus a plastic reaper's scythe, a few yards of wire mesh, dark blue curtains (I'll seriously use those if I have to, I'm not against old-fashioned improvisation), a 5' 6" length of black fabric cord, and an old red dragon's tail that I used last year.

The scarier the better (excluding overly-gorey ideas), but I don't mind just plain funny, beautiful, or whatever you can think of ideas. Any answer is better than none.

I was thinking of pulling down the curtains and fashioning a Grim Reaper outfit, but I'm not allowed to dye them black, and I'm not tall or gaunt enough for the act. If you have ideas that would make me look taller, though, I'd love to hear them.

For my costume, I'm going to be a gypsy. I have no idea what I should wear. DO I wear one color or lots of different colors. Help please?!?!?!

Why did Halloween colors use to be black and orange, but now we see so much purple in place of black. What does purple have to do with Halloween? It ruins it.

I've tried Target, Spencers, Hot Topic, Kmart, and Walmart and can't find any Harry Potter stuff. Have you guys seen it anywhere other than online?
