We stuck to our traditions, however: lots of candy so the teeth rot out faster
because our tooth fairy is greedy.)

Can you explain the doorknob thing?

Gladly! In order to tighten the skirt, the one end of the rope/waistband gets looped over a doorknob (nail, hook, whatever). Then, once the skirt is tight, she goes about the complicated process of tying the rope. (In this case, my daughter just spun in circles until it was all wrapped up. This is not the correct way, but it works.)
