Does the idea of your children or you family eating all of that sugar that comes from the trick-or-treating scare you or make you sick?
Here is a possible solution:
Introducing the
Switch Witch
Her other names also include The Candy Fairy and The Great Pumpkin
She is cousins with the Tooth Fairy and lives on the dark side of the moon. Her and her black cat trade out gifts to all the children who give her their candy. Your children can choose to eat and keep a couple of pieces but the more that they give up the bigger and better the gift in exchange. They can write her a note to go with the candy requesting their preferred gift and leave the candy at the front door.
This is the newer thing that parents are now doing to limit the amount of sugar and other chemicals that their children and families consume related to this holiday.
In relation to this, here are some links as to what to do with the candy besides throwing it away. I hate to waste food, even if most of the candy isn't "real" food, but you know what I mean.
Look up a local dentist to send your children's candy to our troops.
Or if there are not dentists local to you, send it to this warehouse that will send it on to the troops.
Happy Halloween!!
