Trouble with Trick or Treat kids?
I managed to avoid any problems with the Halloween trick or treat kids this year.
I sprayed my wellies with silver paint and left them outside the front door – the little buggers all thought that Gary Glitter was visiting. -

I never get Halloweeners either.
I hand out candy at my Mom’s, she lives in a townhouse plan.
Here is our gang on Halloween. That’s Rachael, Mom, my niece Joze and Justis. The other pic is my son Evan with his girlfriend Kate. He shaved his head!
Justis carved a pumpkin, which was later stolen right off our porch. We could not afford a big Jack O’Lantern this year.

I walked indoors ahead of some trick or treaters and never answered the door, they saw me go in though.
Dont agree with it because its an american import, nothing wrong with it if its somthing from our heritage but its not, just commercialist nonsense, give me guy fawkes/penny for the guy.
Bah humbug – dont care for xmas much either.

Halloween or trick or treat is Of British origin not American. They just picked up on it more

I always make sure I have a bowl of sweets ready at the front door to hand out to all the trick or treaters doing the rounds…..
I find it helps to prevent getting my windows smashed 😕

Last year I left some sweets outside for the kids.
I dipped some small brussel sprouts in chocolate then wrapped them in gold foil – looked just like Ferrero Rocher chocolates. -
Get your facts straight, man, don’t blame it on us:

From Wikipedia on Trick or Treat:
Before the 1980s, trick-or-treating in its American form was little known in the UK and Ireland and when introduced was often regarded as an unusual and even unwelcome import, but the influence of American popular culture caused it to rapidly take hold, to the extent that one British reporter has called it "the Japanese knotweed of festivals".
As a kid, I had never heard of trick or treat, and we would make lanterns out of turnips, and the celebration would usually coincide with bonfire night.
Thankfully, I don’t get any visitors due to the fact that in my neighbourhood, the parents only take their kids to households which thay know have children. I’m not quite sure that that works if everybody is out trick or treating, surely nobody is home to hand out the sweets :lol1:
