There's a holiday in Japan called "setsubun" where you chase out the evil spirits from your home and invite the good to come in. The tradition is for the father to wear a mask that looks like a goblin that the kids make (representing the evil spirit), have him run around the house while the kids throw beans or peanuts at him. And then, you pickup all the beans or nuts and everyone has to eat one bean/nut for every year of your age. We tried this with Kai but of course, he didn't get it too much...at least not yet. we didn't have nuts or beans so we through Iso Peanuts at Jason as he ran out the house. He did enjoy picking up the nuts that were on the ground and smashing it. It actually just turned into one big mess, but kind of funny.
