My family loved surprising our neighbors with goodies when we were younger. We called it “boo-ing our neighbors”. Our neighborhood stopped doing it a while ago but I’m thinking we can revive it this year! Here’s the instructions. You can fill your bucket with Halloween movies, candy, cookies, Halloween decorations, etc. Your only limit is your imagination!
