There's no trick-or-treating at the White House this Halloween.
After three straight years of passing out
goodies to area students and military children in the White House driveway,
President Barack
Obama and his wife, Michelle, broke their Halloween tradition this year
because of superstorm Sandy that walloped the East Coast.
Hundreds of treat bags containing White
House M&Ms, an orange-frosted, pumpkin-shaped sugar cookie, jelly beans and
some dried fruit were be delivered to the White House Military Office and to school
districts in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia that would have
participated in the celebration.
Pumpkins used to decorate the White House
will be donated to area shelters.
