I object to trick or treaters. I’ve no problem with people doing the Halloween thing with their own family, but I object to them pestering other people who aren’t necessarily interested. On Sunday we had a bunch of trick or treaters who took a bunch of chocolate bars then came back five minutes later asking for more! Did they think we wouldn’t recognise them?
none ventured down here, although the house on the corner with teens, was embellished big time yesterday – cobwebs with miniature spiders and a sign directing you to “scary graveyard” – maybe it was just for their friends…
my niece on the other, really gets into it – with hand dug graves on her grassed frontage… And she posted this magnificent picture of a lad who arrived at their place, in a fabulous outfit – something related to Armageddon character, apparently. The lad had made the outfit himself & either he was quite tall or the headpiece was high.
Porch lights here not on, unless I’m going out- but the neighbouring unit has a “thing” with their front/back lights – on all night – every night, not sure why? just some sort of hang-up that stuff will be stolen (have entertaining chats with K/Mum about from time to time…)

Some people will try to game any system. 🙁 Sharon is right, here they don’t bother people with their porch light off.
I was under the impression that we do not celebrate this festival in India till I read in the papers that this custom too has arrived here.

The author has it right — it’s a non-religious and non-national (or political) holiday. A way for people to celebrate together.
Don’t want Trick or Treaters? Shut off the porch lights …
