I heard of this idea a few years ago, and now my girls always look forward to the "Halloween Witch". I don't bother giving the candy away--I just dump it in the trash after they go to sleep. I used to feel bad about that, but not anymore. We only go to a block or two anyway since the girls are so little. I haven't thought about what to do when they get older, but while I have control of what comes into my house, I will use it!

By the way, any good ideas for what to give out other than candy (my husband is an orthodontist, but refuses to be known as "the house that gives out toothbrushes").
