I usually pride myself on the 5-minute costume, but this year my girls had something else in mind. They planned ahead, did extra chores around the house, saved money, ordered costumes online, and prepared every needful thing. We even held practice make-up sessions. The result, as you can see, was quite dramatic. Our little guy still got the 5-minute job, however.
A great Halloween tradition was started in Tbilisi a few years ago by some expats that has really gained momentum. For the regular entrance fee, the Tbilisi Open Air Museum of Ethnography allows families to come in, claim a house, or porch, as it were, and hand out candy to all the other little ones who come along trick or treating.
Everyone is encouraged to bring candy to share; we stayed until ours was gone. There were easily hundreds of kids there. It's a great event which I hope will continue.
