Liz Atwood talks about celebrating Halloween and doing good in this week's Tween Tuesday:

Can you believe it's just days before Halloween and my tween has yet to decide on a Halloween costume? I've thrown out suggestions both funny and scary, but he is just not that into it.

But while the Halloween spirit might be lacking in my house, I thought I should mention that it isn't for others. This is the 60th anniversary of Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF. I remember carrying those little orange boxes door to door when I was a kid and the organization that aids children all around the world is still at it. Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF has raised $160 million throughout the years and raises about $4 million each year, according to the organization.

The boxes are still available for kids to use to collect money as they go door to door, but this year there is also a new application for the iPhone and iPod to help raise money.

I wonder if I could entice my son to go this weekend as a good-deed-doer? Probably not.
