Don't tend to answer the door as I don't wear much around the house and I can't be bothered to put something on every five minutes. Although this year I have bought some mini haribo bags. I'd not ask for tricks because then you have to wait for them to do something pretty crap and stand there coo'ing over how cute their little trick was cos their parents are usually stood behind them thinking 'ahhhhh aren't my kids cute in their little outfit I made them'. No parents, they're just as un-cute and chuffing annoying as they are without the stupid outfit.

Normally little cheap sweets and funsize choc bars. In a previous I'd completely forgot about it and when the first kids turned up gave them loose change, when that ran out it was fruit. You've never seen such disgusted looks from children, I was convinced I was going to have my tyre let down or windows egged.

Normally give them a lucky dip out of a big tub of sweets - Celebrations this year that we found in a sale as they are near their sell by.

Then I say "Clear Off!"

Mind you, last year after all the local little kids had been round before 7pm, about 9pm there was a knock on the door, and I was greeted by the sight of four young ladies old enough to know better dressed as "sexy witches" or some such. They only got the chocolates too.

With hindsight, I should have told them to come back the next night when the missus was out.....

Ahh Halloween the time of the year when is socially acceptable to get children to perform acts of extortion.

Load of old toilet,bloody trick or treat. I know it's regarded as American but it originated in Yorkshire.
It's still kids begging for sweets from strangers. BUGGER OFF.
Why can't we have penny (pound) for The Guy? That used to be fun.

yep because celebrating the tortue and murder of someone by burning at the stake is much more fun 😆

Yesterday evening: knock at the door, so I go to see who it is. two mums & four children.

'Trick or treat!'
'Pardon?'
'Trick or treat'
'What's that then?'
'salloween, innit!'
( Look at the date on my watch )
'Sorry, folks Halloween is on the 31st, on Monday, goodnight!'

no it doesn't it's named after Eostra the saxon fertility goddess, the invading god botherers nicked the date and whacked some rubbish about their zombie resurrection over the top to convert the locals

I used to love doing it, my daughter loves doing it and I don't resent the local kids doing it. We have a big tub of sweets and coppers to hand out. Although as kids we always did penny for the guy too - as we got older we blagged it one year and couldn't be arsed to make a guy, so we got the smallest kid to dress up in tatty clothes and shoved him in a wheelbarrow - got rumbled a few times though.

Had none so far, they seem to stick to the actual night round here.

Guising up here and done on the 31st. We also demand a party piece, a song or a joke. Trick or Treaters are Re-educated in a government funded waterboarding campaign. Cruel but necessary to maintain our traditions and culture.

Ok fair point about Easter. So basically the whole. Christian religion is built on lies.
We have people ranting , raving ,hating and killing because they believe what even the church admits are lies.
Great isn't it.
I'm all for giving thanks to the sun , as apart from that stuff around thermal vents it gives life to the planet.

no sh*t sherlock

basic premise of introducing Christianity to the "heathens" was to "steal" the "heathens"' festivals & load a Christian one on top. Easter = Eostre; Halloween (day before All Saints) = Samhain; Christmas = Yule. I'm sure there are more...

We leave the dog in the front garden. If they make it to the front door they deserve a treat!
