Re: Trick or Treat Banned
You obviously have a different thing in the UK. Halloween is popular here but it's usually just very young kids walking around at dusk dressed up accompanied by their parents ; who often dress up too. We never see little kids walking around without adults. Like many things some people love it and think it's fun, others don't. The custom here is a small balloon appears in your letterbox a couple of days before. If you welcome the kids you blow it up and tie it to your letterbox. If you don't want to be bothered then you throw it away. It usually works either way. As far as sugary treats go, it's one night in a year. If kids are encouraged to care for their teeth and usually eat healthy food, why not?...The kids are usually polite and well behaved. The kids have a ball and the parents get to catch up. And none of them are "feral" in my experience. It's not just an American thing. Didn't it originate in Ireland?..They have Halloween in Canada and New Zealand too I think.Re: Trick or Treat Banned
We loved hallowe'en when we were young, but now there's not so many children go round the doors, a lot of them have parties in their house, with their friends, but that will be a no no this year. I don't think it's safe for children to be knocking on doors. I agree with keezoy, any children who have come to our door in the past have always been polite,...none of them begging or feralRe: Trick or Treat Banned

I like the imaginative pumpkin lanterns decorating some houses and other spooky decorations so I hope that this doesn't mean that people stop doing that. As for kids wandering around in the dark it's never been too welcome but it's a fun night for the kids so I feel sorry for them.Re: Trick or Treat Banned
