halloween

No problem with little kids dressed up. What I really hate is the teenagers with binliners on who tell me "Halloween is coming, the goose is getting fat" then hold out their hands. No, that would be Christmas! They sure don't want chocolate, it's just scrounging. When my son was little he went guising with a few friends and when they came home told me a lady round the corner had been quite mean and snapped "we don't do Halloween". Next day I walked past only to see skeletons, and pumpkins on the front door and windows.

I'm going out on Monday night. I have to make sure I'm out or working as the witch next door gets her windows hammered with eggs by the local youth from cars - who inevitably miss :mad: Consequently I'm too scared to be in on my own. This has just reminded me actually, am getting my Avon brought round Monday so am going to have to ask her to text before she turns up or I wont answer the door...

I love halloween, its great seeing all the kids dressed up! Only comes round once a year so i dont mind splashing out £1 on a bag of sweets to treat the kids who have made an effort to dress up.

I give homemade cakes or cookies. No sweets and no cash! I think thats wrong!!!
I heard a woman in tescos saying how her kids are going to go begging for money at halloween, damn cheek!

Had a couple of children knock on the door early September 'tricking and treating'. When I pointed out they were very early, they said they were going away on holiday over Halloween, and were seeing their 'customers' early.

That pair will go far in life.

to me it is demanding with menaces - even you do not give us something we will do something nasty.

I put a sign no trick or treating and those who ignore sign will be ignored any way.

Where I work we organise a Halloween party on the Friday before or after Halloween (depending on which is closest) - but I absolutely loathe trick or treaters, it would be so much better if Halloween either followed the Scottish model of 'guising' where they have to do something for a treat or if the entire idea was like the Mexican Day of the Dead, which is more about paying respect to dead relatives (albeit still with festivals and parades) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_dead
