Have you been booed? These are my version of the popular "You've been boo-ed!" bags. They are very simple to do. I did two versions, one for my office and one for my neighbors. I'm a little bummed, though, that I boo-ed all my neighbors on last week (4 people) and none have passed it on. BOO! The neighbor poem is below, and I simply replaced "neighborhood" with "office" for my office poem:
Good evening! You've just been BOO'ed!
Since this is the time for goblins and bats,
For Halloween spirits, for ghosts and cats,
For weird happenings and witches' brew,
These are the things that I wish for you…
May the only spirit you chance to meet
Be the spirit of love and friends warm and sweet.
May the only goblin that comes your way
Be this Neighborhood Phantom you must give away.
“T'is much better to give than to receive" goes the old verse
And something this easy won't empty your purse.
It's your turn to pass along a treat and a BOO
Because now the Neighborhood Phantom is little old YOU!
So by this time tomorrow, pick three friends sweet,
And give to them each a Halloween treat.
You have only one day - so you’ll need to hurry -
Leave a treat on their doorstep, ring the bell, and then scurry!

Have you ever boo-ed someone? Does this work in your neighborhood? Share the different methods of boo-ing you have used. Did you use a different container, or fill the bags with homemade items? I want to know, so please share!

I have never been boo'ed before!!! And that is the cutest poem! Your neighbors are spoilsports! I hope they join in the fun!! You sound like soo much fun! And I think things like that just make people happier in general :) its the simple things that are fun! And all those bags are super cute!
LOVE the bags. I think I'll try this at my school. That would be fun to do with teachers. You know...it's the little things we love. :) Thanks for the idea.
I did the boo thing last year and it flopped so I got upset and didn't do it again. I did mine to ur neighbors and then also at the office. No one passed it on. Party poopers.
That happened to me too. I started a Boo when we first moved in and no one passed it on. I tried again the second year...no luck. I gave up. I might have to try next year...there has to be someone who wants to play.
