Well my Best Friend was dutifully tickled
She called when she got home from work, all excited, "I've been BOO-ed!"
She said she wondered for a while who could have done it, then noticed the organizedchristmas.com links on the tag & sign. Dead give-away because she knows about my work there.
Mom has still not figured it out. She was tickled with the treat (a plastic pumpkin with a 12-inch scarecrow, a couple of bags of trick or treat Cheetos, and a candle). She put the sign on her door, but proclaims the tradition "silly" - I'm guessing because she can't get out and put her own treats together. I'll take the stuff over for her to make her own later today.
I'm sure she'll get more into it when the signs start appearing on doors. She lives in a Sr. Citizens' apartment building, and they will love this kind of thing.
Curious about the neighbor's reactions. The one nextdoor is kind of a fuddy duddy, and I don't see the sign. The other one - maybe. I'll have to pop in on her today to see.
