Living - Do You "Boo"?

A few years back I found a small container full of goodies left on my desk at work.  Inside was a little note explaining that I had been “boo”-ed.  (sample “boo” letter here or here.) How fun was that to find a surprise of goodies!  Well, part of the “boo” note suggests that you carry on the booing for the season and “boo” your own unsuspecting victims.

So I gathered some goodies and a cute little container and “boo”-ed my first victim.  Oooh, was that fun!  It was especially fun when they were trying to figure out who had “boo”-ed them!  So I took it outside of work and “boo”-ed a few houses!  It has become a fun little tradition now.  And I am currently in the process of thinking of who I might “boo” this year!

I thought it would be fun to put together a list of suggested items to include in your “boo” container.  Included below is a list of ideas for containers.  And first, maybe an idea of who to “boo”.  I encourage you to leave your own suggestions in the comments.  Also, let us know if you plan to “boo” someone you know!  Have you been “boo”-ed?

Anything that might relate to the person you are booing

A "boo" does not need to be ellaborate, keep it simple and fun!  Now what are you waiting for?  To “boo” or not to “boo”!
