Boo Bagged

My Grandchildren came home from school yesterday afternoon all excited about Boo Bagging.
I had never heard of this and asked for an explanation.
You prepare two seperate bags with halloween treats. In addition to the treats you attach a instruction sheet and a cutout of a ghost. Select two neighbors or friends. Place the Boo Bag on their porch or front steps,ring the bell and run. The object here is not to be seen.The instructions state the fact that you have been "Boo Bagged" They go on to explain that you need to prepare two bags of your own and continue the Boo Bagging. Place the cutout of the ghost in your window or on the door to let others know you have already been Boo Bagged.
I looked this up on the net and found there are poems associated with this practice to include with your note. It has been around for a short time . As with most everything you can get the poems and cutouts there as well.
My daughter in law is going to do this with the kids and it sounds like a fun thing. The starting of a new tradition. It will be interesting to hear the stories of being Boo Bagged from the kids.

                                        Happy Halloween !
