Witchalina is in the house!

I love Halloween. I love candy corn. I love the costumes. I love the colors. It may be because as a kid we had Witchalina visit our house every year a week before Halloween. This tradition was started by Liz Dayton, a lady in our ward when I was growing up. When she moved to Utah my parrents took over organizing it for the families in our ward. Even though my kids are waking up super early to run downstairs to see what she left, I am love watching them enjoy the same tradition that I did as a kid. Witchalina does not just some and leave candy. There is usually a scripture, poem or puzzle of some kind that teaches a principle. Like honesty, not gossiping, repentance, loving one another ect. When I was a kid she would leave our treats on the kitchen table next to a witch. I made a Halloween quilt and added a pocket that says "trick or treat" that is where she leaves our notes and goodies.
