  1. Halloween Customs

    Share Share Post
    Place a tub of water in the middle of the kitchen.
    Get two apples and put them floating on top of the water. Then some body in the house tries to get the apples.
    Before winning the prize the competitor must keep his hands tied behind his back. When he tries to bring out the apple he often overbalances and falls in. He cannot help himself so someone comes to his aid and pulls him out and every one in the house is in fits of laughter.
