10 Things to Say to the Trick-or-Treaters Dressed as Elsa

October 25, 2014 By Katy 42 Comments

Warning!

They’re coming.

Not the walking dead. Or the Boy Scouts with their popcorn.

No, the Elsas are coming. All 5,082,367 of them.

How do I know there will be so many of them? A couple weeks ago I took my daughter, 7, to a Halloween event. And then I almost lost her. That’s because she as well as ever other girl under age 10 were dressed as Elsa from Frozen.

So to be prepared for the onslaught of Queen Elsas showing up at your door this Halloween, here are 10 Things to Say to Trick-or-Treaters Dressed as Elsa:

elsatrickortreatlong

1. So the cold never bothered you anyway?

2. You kind of set off an eternal winter.

3. Did you tell the guards to open up the gates?

4. You’re so wise, Elsa. You can’t marry a man you just met.

5. So. DO you wanna build a snowman?

6. What does it mean, “My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around”?

7. Conceal. Don’t feel.

8. By the way, who designed your dress?

9. Do the magic Elsa!

And finally {duh}…

10. Let it go! Let it go!

What else do you want to say to the Elsa trick-or-treaters this Halloween? What costumes are your kids wearing this year?

          Wow!! You know, in our neighborhood we only saw 4. I think the bad weather here kept the wee ones away. At the elementary school parade, though, there were about 6 Elsas in each Kindergarten and 1st grade class!

    As I sat in paralytic shock in the movie theatre watching the mind numbing “Rugrats In Paris” I truly thought it would never end. My considerable consumption of endless children’s flicks. My pal sat beside me – gently snoring – as her two and mine chuckled uproariously at every potty mouthed line. I am stunned some 15 years later to realize that my life has taken a HUGE shift in another direction. I, Kelly L Mckenzie, have NOT seen Frozen! I can’t quote a line, don’t know an Elsa from a snowman and I’m ok with that. As for Halloween night? I shall look at my 345th Elsa and grin. Thanks to you I’ll say the exactly appropriate thing (having memorized these fabulous 10 comments.) Bless you Katy.

      Oh, so happy to help! Here’s a few more tips: anyone dressed like a snowman is Olaf from the movie. You may also see a few girls (but not a thousand) dressed in a blue Norwegian dress with a mauve cape: these girls are Anna, who is Elsa’s plucky sister with a much less cool wardrobe than Elsa, hence the lower numbers of girls turning out like her!

        And in my opinion, Anna is the much better character. She is the heroine after all!

    wonderful! I’m lucky to be teaching yoga at the school Halloween party and I’m just glad Elsa doesn’t have any pointy costume parts.

    I’ll be using the Let It Go line for sure!

    My daughter loves Elsa, but she’s had her costume for months so she’s been there, done that. I imagine we’ll see lots of Frozen characters out.

      We bought our daughter’s Elsa costume in July off Etsy because we couldn’t find an offiical Disney one. It’s actually quite lovely! I saw a few Olafs at Trunk-or-Treat over the weekend and those little snowmen were adorable! I’d like to see a Sven, though. 🙂

    Have you heard about the “Frozen” Trick-or-Treating Drinking Game? Every time an Elsa comes to the door you take a drink!

    I don’t think we will make it past sunset!!

    My daughters will be Elsa and Anna. The oldest is 12 and very Elsa-ish. She is very dramatic and tries so hard at everything. The youngest is 11 and very Anna-ish. She sings and dances constantly, loves animals, and is a bit boy crazy.

      Aw, very cool that you have 2 daughters and they can go as the “set”! Yes, they do sound a lot like Elsa and Anna.

    We have both an Elsa and an Anna going out Friday night. We ALSO have a 5 month old Kristoff joining them, with his favorite stuffed reindeer, Sven, attached! All we’re missing is Olaf– and I think I’ve convinced my husband to wear a hat while we walk around!

      If they’re happy, then we’re happy! Last night at Scouts there were 3 Elsas. So what? They all had different outfits and seemed completely happy to be Elsa.

      I LOVE seeing the pairs: Annas and Elsas, Elsas and Olafs, etc. So cute!! If only my cat would dress up like Sven…

      Thanks for coming by! We had cold, snowy weather here for Halloween. Nobody could tell my 7yo was Elsa what with her Winter coat and snowboots on!! She and her big brother had fun, though. Cheers to you for a great day, too!
