THE CANDY FAIRY




Another fun family Halloween tradition.  Although this one's after the fact, and it leans just a teeny bit toward the sneaky.

Each November 1 (or 2, or 3, or 4, depending on how generous we are feeling - and how addicted we are to the Almond Joys), the Candy Fairy flits in to pay us a visit.  Our children know she is coming, and they are prepared.  They've each selected one favorite piece of Halloween candy for every day of the coming week.  And they've hidden it so that the Fairy won't have a chance of finding it.  The rest, well, it's magically moved on to some other candy bowl. 

Note to the Candy Fairy:  We like to think that our candy has been donated to make others happy.  If you could please send ours to either the US troops overseas at http://www.opgratitude.com/ or to Meals on Wheels for elderly people who can't leave home at http://www.mowaa.org/, we would be grateful!
