Donate your kid's old Halloween costumes!

It is the same old story every year - your kids wear their Halloween costumes for one Halloween and then want to be something completely different the next year. That's fine, kid's interests and tastes change and they outgrow old costumes. It is to be expected. But what happens to all of those old costumes? If it's anything like my house, they'll sit in the closet for years and won't see the light of day ever again. Well, that isn't putting them to good use at all.

Rather than letting them rot in your closet, donate them! Here is a short list of places that will accept your old children's costumes and put them to good use:

• Goodwill
• The Salvation Army
• Your local schools
• Children's Hospitals - Throughout the nation
  
• Your local churches
