Spooky decorations, creepy costumes and candy-filled visions spur kids - and often the entire family - into a fun-filled frenzy on Halloween. But don't let hidden dangers spoil the evening for your ghouls and booys! Here are ten simple Halloween safety and planning tips to help keep fright night from becoming a real scare.

10. Fill 'em up first: Send trick-or-treaters off with a full tummy so they won't be as tempted to eat candy before it's inspected.

9. Have a Trick-or-Treating plan: Accompany young children at all times and send older kids out in a group with strict route guidelines and curfews - and a charged cel phone for emergencies. Don't forget flashlights or glow sticks for everyone, both to see and be seen.

8. Remember safety basics: Emphasize to kids that Halloween night is no different when it comes to safety. Avoid strangers and dark houses, stay on well-lighted streets on a preapproved route, and take extra care when crossing streets.

7. Decorate with the littlest ghouls in mind: Make yard decorations safe and inviting to all. Secure electrical cords and strings out of reach, use glow sticks or battery-operated candles as light sources instead of real candles, and make walkways clear and accessible. If creating a particularly scary haunted yard, consider including a less-scary approach for younger trick-or-treaters (unless, of course, you want a bunch of leftover candy).

6. Costume for comfort and safety: Dress kids in costumes that are temperature-appropriate, allow free range of vision and movement, and are easily seen in the dark. Accessories like swords, knives and fairy wands should be safely blunted or flexible to prevent injury. Do costumes call for a spooky glow? Flameless battery-operated candles create a ghoulish candle-lit effect and are safe to carry.

5. Carve a safer Jack o'Lantern: Let little ones scoop the insides of the pumpkin and draw the face - always the best designs - but leave the carving to adults or older kids. Create a safer spooky light using glow sticks in two or three colors or battery-operated candles.

4. Check all candy before eating: Inspect candy before allowing kids to eat. Discard candy with broken wrappers, packaging that can be opened and resealed, or that appears tampered with in any way.

3. Keep pets inside all night: It's safer and less stressful for pets, pet owners and visitors.

2. Prepare for unexpected scares: Assemble a portable first-aid kit to treat minor scrapes, burns or cuts, and include medications for asthma or allergies.

1. Have a get-home plan: Whether trick-or-treating, attending a party, or stopping by the neighborhood carnival, have a plan that works for everyone in case of separation. Identify a location to go to if separated from the group, and attach parents' names, address and phone numbers to younger kids' clothing.

Chucky Adult Costume

Includes: Jumpsuit with attached shirt, and mask. Shoes and weapon not included. This is an officially licensed Chucky costume.


When the leaves begin to turn color and fall from the trees children used to start thinking about that most exciting holiday, Halloween. You got to dress up as a cat or Batman or a princess and on top of that you could go outside on the cool or cold autumn evening and who knows what was waiting for you? Free candy, spooky looking houses and perhaps some other kids who were up to no good. No matter this was a holiday meant for children, forget Christmas, at least for one night.

Adults had parties I suppose but I never noticed as I was too focused on the treats of that evening, just waiting for it to get dark and rushing off to get my pillow case full of all the candy I could eat and then some. Parents were supposed to be at home giving out candy and not going out to some silly party where they dressed up and looked odd, didn't they know Halloween was for kids?

Fast forward to today and the truth is Halloween is not just for children! Costumes were once the domain of kids but inevitably that changed for a variety of reasons. Candy is still a big part of Halloween but many complain that the kids just don't come around anymore. One reason is certainly that families are a lot smaller than they were a generation or two ago. Another is the permanent change brought about by sensational stories about poisoned candy and kidnappings of young children.

Costumes are for adults now and when you think about it Halloween has always been a pretty mature subject. The origin of Halloween is pretty scary even for adults. Halloween traces back to the Celtics who inhabited present day Ireland. November 1st was their New Years Day separating summer from winter and they believed that the line between life and death was blurred on the 31st of October and the time that the dead returned to Earth. Without going into a historical analysis suffice it to say that there was nothing child like and innocent about the origins of this Holiday. Different cultures had different traditions but many celebrate the day of the dead or all saints day to honor the dead, again no fairy tale characters here.

Early on the celebrations many sanctioned by the Catholic church involved dressing up as saints, angels and devils which were the precursors of the tradition of wearing costumes. The tradition evolved and many cultures do not celebrate Halloween. Perhaps it is only fitting that the U.S. has managed to celebrate this solemn time by wearing costumes of Star Wars characters, Presidents, alive and dead and of course the Texas Chainsaw Massacre character and Jason the undead. Adults now celebrate the holiday with little tricking or treating but parties, gatherings with music, alcohol and food and many suggest "simply another reason to have a party." Many if not most people have no idea what they are celebrating and why should they care. Unlike Christmas, Easter and the Fourth of July the meaning of Halloween is blurred and unfocused and likely to stay that way. Halloween, a holiday that used to celebrate the dead now celebrates life and in some cases debauchery.

Adults now have a wide range of choices of what to wear for Halloween. It seems that women more than men enjoy dressing up for the occasion. Why are women more inclined than men to dress up in silly, cute and suggestive costumes? Simplistically perhaps because women have been conditioned to be spectacles or object of desire more than men. Perhaps because in a male dominated society women have been conditioned by men to dress for the pleasure of men? These questions won't be answered here, but the truth is the variety of costumes for women dwarfs those for men by a ration of at least ten to one. What ever the reason women can dress up in the classic costumes such as the cheerleader, French maid and nurse. These are costumes that have evolved from occupations that women hold to this day although the costumes are generally not appropriate for wearing to work at the hospital. Men's costumes generally stick to the pirate, barbarian and other such manly figures.

Fortunately women's costumes now include a greater selection of plus size costumes in many, but not all of the characters available to missy sizes. Here as elsewhere in the fashion industry a controversy exists as to supply and demand and it is difficult to say who is to blame. Any woman who wears plus size will attest that the selection for plus size costumes is but a fraction of those offered to missy size girls. Manufacturers argue that plus size women simply don't but these costumes while many women argue that the selection is poor and the styles are limited. Regardless of the outcome of that controversy selection of plus size costumes is increasing slowly but surely. Woman of all sizes can and do wear the suggestive costumes but plus size women have been slower to embrace the trend for whatever reason.

Whether Halloween is a holiday that contains memories of a day gone by where children dominated the tradition or you grew up when the holiday transformed to a holiday for kids and adults equally the basic reason for the modern day holiday is to have fun and wearing costumes is a way to become another character whether it be superman or a suggestive Alice in Wonderland, just have fun!

Thanksgiving is traditionally a day when we invite our loved ones into our home and give thanks for all we have. But with Christmas and other holidays looming just around the corner, it sometimes can be tough on the budget to put out a beautifully decorated table. No problem, The Budget Decorator is here to help you create a tablescape for your home that represents your creativity, and gives you yet another thing to be thankful for....money saved!

1.Develop a theme. A natural for this time of year, is, well...natural! Use the beauty of nature and the harvest as even our ancestors did to provide a beautiful and delicious theme for your Thanksgiving feast.

2.Provide a backdrop to your table setting. You don't need fancy tablecloths for this day. Layer simply flat sheets, old bedspreads or quilts, and pretty fabric placemats all on the same table. Keep a solid color between each pattern, and it will shine!

3.Go all out setting your table! I DON'T mean run to your nearest department store and buy the best china. Nonsense. This day is about simpler things than that. I do mean use what you have, all of it, even if it doesn't match. Set out plates and salad dishes and soup bowls. Use all your glassware. Bring out separate forks for salad and main dish. Fold pretty fabric or paper napkins and place at each setting. Go to a craft site and find a little place card you can make out of materials on hand. Here's a secret: The more generous you are with your table settings, no matter what the nature of the plates and cups and silverware, the more festive and lavish the room appears!

4.Create a shimmering centerpiece out of natural materials! Bather 2 or three ceramic bowls, and fill them with nature finds...fir cones, acorns, nuts or seeds, even old potpourri! Nestle a pillar candle in each bowl, and set in the center of the table. Add a few pressed or silk fall leaves to the table around the bowls, and viola! Simple, elegant, and except for the candles(which you may have in your cupboard already) free! Never leave the candles unattended, and always make sure they will not burn down to or be blown into anything flammable.

5.Use a small pitcher from your cupboard to bring fresh flowers or branches of fall leaves to the table. Use in the center of your candle arrangement for height and interest.

6.Display pumpkins and gourds in the corners of the room, piled as they would in a barn. Add a few baskets to hold apples and pears, or smaller gourds and corn.

7.Invest in one roll of fall hue ribbon for your tablescape. Tie a bow to the back of each chair, wind ribbon over the table through the centerpieces. Even use it as tiebacks for the curtains!

Use what you have, bring in the bounty of harvest, and enjoy your loved ones without stealing from that holiday fund!

Snow White Sexy Skimpy Skirt Set Halloween Costume Cute Naughty Fairy Tale Fairytale Adult Outfit

Sexy 3 Piece Fairytale Fantasy Costume

This Item Includes Zipper Front Top; Pleated Skirt; and Bow Headband!

{{RomaSizes}}


The popular television series, comic books and films based on Bob Kane and Bill Finger's iconic character The Batman, or The Dark Knight, have developed an immensely strong cult following. This is especially true since 1990, the year Tim Burton's feature film adaptation was released on the public to become one of the greatest spectacles seen in recent years. Many films followed Batman: The Movie, including those starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jim Carrey, George Clooney and other famous actors.

The most recent film release, The Dark Knight, starring Christian Bale and the late Heath Ledger, has become the highest grossing film ever to hit the big screen. Ticket sales create new fans and rejuvenate fans of old - officially ushering a new era for the pulp icon. It's well known that millions of children and adults will don a Dark Knight Halloween costume this October. And it's important for these film and pop-culture followers to purchase the latest and most official versions of the Batman's suit.

Dressing up as Batman is not limited to Halloween, however. Once bought, this soon-to-be classic attire can be worn while attending comic book conventions, fan parties, the next Batman film release and even fare as an alternate form of pajamas for the truly devoted. People enjoy dressing up as alter egos and super heroes because it allows them to be free to express themselves in ways not possible in their day-to-day lives. And now you can join them.

The Batsuit's foundation is a tight-fitting bodysuit that is similar to many superheroes. If you wish to dress like an earlier version of Batman, you may consider wearing contrasting briefs over a unitard, similar to what's seen on circus performers. To follow modern guidelines, briefs are integrated into the main costume, so that section of the costume constitutes only a seam and color change from the rest of the suit. This can be accomplished by wearing briefs and a unitard of the same color.

When looking for the best Dark Knight Halloween costume, be sure it includes the following: Batman cape, cowl with mask (make sure it doesn't fit to tightly on the head), boots, gauntlets or arm-bands, and body armor. Most pieces of this Dark Knight costume are likely to be cloth, including the gauntlets and armor. In some cases the devoted Batman devotee will find a durable plastic outfit that will not only last longer, but look more appealing and official. The only setback to purchasing one of these official costumes will be the cost, which usually starts at over thirty dollars.

Now that you know what the essential parts of a Dark Knight Halloween costume consist of you should look at your local costume store for these items or purchase them online if you intend to dress up this Halloween season. Even if you're just looking for something good to wear to San Diego's Comic Con next summer, it's a good idea to get your hands on the Dark Knight costume a couple weeks before Halloween to ensure you get a good deal.

Recently she has been working with a number of Fortune 500 companies to develop friendly sales techniques for the young girl and teenage boy markets including the new Batman the Dark Knight Halloween Costume.

The wonders and religious means of direct Judaism representations throughout the year did not skip over the kids in games and fun, when it came to Hanukkah and the game with the Jewish Dreidel. Although today there are literally hundreds or more in variations of selections and styles, and Dreidels are easily found online, just as well as many places were Judaic items are carried.

Even with the large number of Dreidel styles to choose from, all Dreidels are basically shaped the same. There are 4 sides to this spinning top with the Hebrew letters of gimel, shin, heh, and nun upon each side. These 4 Hebrew letters that stand for Hebrew words that translates into the English language to say that in Israel "A Great Miracle Happened".

The game of Dreidel is started with what would be considered a small pile of something valuable or also known as the pot, and this pile would sit in the middle. There are many different variations as to what this small pile or pot could be made of. For instance, maybe it is made out of chocolates, candies, real coins or even chocolate coins. When each player has contributed one item from their own individual pile to make up the pot in the middle, each player spins the Dreidel during their individual turn. Depending upon which letter is facing up when it lands is how each player knows how to respond by doing nothing, taking half of the pot, taking all of the pot.

As mentioned earlier, there are many different kinds of Dreidels. There are hollow Dreidels, musical Dreidels, plastic Dreidels, ceramic Dreidels, wooden Dreidels, glass Dreidels, and even the highly expensive silver and gold Dreidels. All though the glass, gold and silver Dreidels will most often cost a few hundred dollars, they are highly desired for the fun of adding to the adult Dreidel collections that so many Jewish families love to do. In Jewish traditions, many Jewish families do the collections of all kinds of Silver Judaica so these collections can be passed down for many generations.

During the season of Hanukkah, Dreidels are such an important part that the white and blue Hanukkah festival lights that are lit up around many Jewish homes are in fact in the shapes of Dreidels! So whether you are young or old, the love of the Jewish Hanukkah Dreidel is just as much for collections as it is for family festival fun.

Goddess Wig (Natural Red) Deluxe Adult Halloween Costume Accessory (B542)

Goddess Wig (Natural Red) Deluxe Adult Halloween Costume Accessory


If you're short on cash this Christmas, consider making your own gifts for the people you care about. They'll surely appreciate the extra thought and time put into their gift and you'll have fun making them with your own hands instead of a store bought present that holds no special meaning.

Christmas Card Place Mats

Hopefully you'll have saved all of your Christmas cards from years past as there are several uses for the often beautiful pieces of artwork we send to each other during the holiday season. One of these easy ideas is making unique place mats for your Christmas table that guests can take home with them to remind them of the day. You'll need to laminate your creations so they're useable at the table, but this is a rather inexpensive way to make a lasting, thoughtful gift.

Food In a Jar

Fill an empty jar with all of the dry ingredients to make food items such as soups, cookies, or hot chocolate and decorate with Christmas ribbons along with a sprig of holly before presenting your gift. Type up or neatly write the complete directions and attach to a gift tag you can make from wrapping paper or card stock and embellished with craft supplies or simple ribbon.

Homemade Coupons

Think of all the ways you are able to help other people, whether it be running errands, cleaning, cooking, or whatever it is you can do to make someone's day a little easier or brighter and create "coupons" for them to redeem as they wish. For your spouse, include things like a relaxing massage after a hard day's work, their favorite meal or candlelit dinner, and adorn the coupons with ribbons or lace or whatever you can find for a decorative touch.

Making Gift Tags

Don't waste money on buying gift tags for any of your presents this year as you can use leftover wrapping paper, old Christmas cards and a few scrapbook supplies to create your own one-of-a-kind, personalized tags. Use scalloped scissors, paper punches, brads, ribbons, lace, and any other embellishments you can think of to make tags that you can add names to with marker, pen, or glittery glue.

Still have spare budget for your nativity sets Choose from large selection of nativity sets and outdoor Christmas decorations nativityscensandsets.com

Having homemade Christmas Tree Ornaments on your Christmas tree is much more sentimental than having store bought ornaments. It gives your home that warm, old-fashioned Christmas feeling and is a great way to bring the family together for the holidays. Show off your artistic side this year! Everyone who comes into your home will feel that "special glow" that the holidays bring when they see your tree this holiday season.

Most homemade Christmas tree ornaments can be created with items found in or around your home, with little to no cost to you. One idea that my family would do every year when I was younger is to collect pine cones from outside and decorate them. Growing up in the northeast, we had plenty! We would collect a bunch of pine cones and make different types of ornaments with them. My favorites were the glittery ones. We would take different color glitter glue and put a line of glitter on the tip of each leaf on the pine cone. Do all one color or use different ones. Tie string on the top to hang them with and you have a beautiful, nature-made homemade Christmas tree ornament. Another pine cone idea is to make angels using the cone for the body. Just cut out some wings using paper or foils, add a head and a halo with a hot glue gun and decorate.

Homemade Christmas garland can be made with any number of things. Popcorn is probably the most common choice. There are many other things you can use though if you wanted to do something different. You can use any kind of food that won't go bad and that is soft enough to pull a string through, like certain types of dried beans, berries, candies or marshmallows. If you prefer not to use food items, you can use plastic or glass beads, or artificial flowers or just about anything you can think of that you can put a hole through.

I think we all have seen the gingerbread man ornaments. Just bake hard gingerbread cookies, decorate and hang from the tree with a string pulled through a hole punched in the cookie. These are really fun for the kids to help with, although they may eat more of the candy and icing decorations than actually get put on the ornaments!

If you like to recycle, there are many things you can use for homemade Christmas Tree Ornaments. Bottlecaps and light bulbs are just a few of the things you can use. Take different colored bottle caps and glue them together into different shapes with a hot glue gun. For instance, use one bottle cap for the middle, and glue the others around it in a circle. You can then use cotton, glitter, beads or anything you'd like to make a pretty ornament. With the light bulbs you can make Rudolph or snowmen! For Rudolph, paint the bulb brown or wrap it in brown felt. Glue on a red pom-pom for the nose, glue on or color on a mouth, some googly eyes, and some cut-out antlers. Tie a string around the top to hang it with and you have Rudolph! Use cotton balls or white felt material to make a snowman! Just glue them onto the bulb, add a cotton ball or another piece of felt material for the head and decorate as you'd like. You can even do angels or Santas! With a little imagination, you can make lots of beautiful glass ornaments with recycled light bulbs.

Do you have a lot of plain, glass ornaments but you want to spruce up your tree a little this year? Take the top off of your plain bulbs and swirl some acrylic paint on the inside! You can use a brush, or just put a few drops of paint inside and swirl it around by tilting the glass ornament around. Add some glitter if you like. Let dry and replace the cap. Another great idea for clear glass ornaments is to put pictures inside. One of my favorite gifts I ever received was a picture a relative had taken of my child inside one of these ornaments. They just put the photo inside, recapped the ornament, and tied some ribbon around the top. It's a beautiful addition to my tree every year! These make great homemade Christmas gifts! They're easy, inexpensive, and will be kept as keepsakes for years to come.

I hope you've gotten some good ideas from these suggestions! Have a very Merry Christmas!
