Default Trick or treat?

I love it! All the little kids from the village out and about. We've had six lots so far and we're through an entire tub of sweets. We've got a spare, though, just in case. I must be getting soft in my old age.

I love it too. I have my pumpkin in the window so that they know they are welcome. Sadly only one lot

Which leaves a large quantity of chocolate left over!

We've just had the new Chinese family over and their youngest daughter, two and half has this little witches' outfit and her big brown eyes and chubby cheeks just about poke out from underneath her hat! I've asked Mrs T if we can get a Chinese baby. She said no.

I don't live in America so they can go shove their trick or treat up their obese backsides. Do the proper rhyme or **** off!

I can't stand trick or treat.

All your we tell our kids not to accept sweets off strangers but that seems to go out of the window on Halloween

I try my best to ignore them and keep all the lights off at the front of the house.

I love them coming round and tart the house up to suit. I always wonder when the last lot will come as around 9:30 I like to go to bed...

Just had a huge lot come and the wife said help yourself... We have a huge pot..
Pissed me off when this greedy **** about 13yrs old not dressed up used both hands and dug deep... Should have knocked him out - all the other kids took 2 or 3'lollies...

We must be lucky here, I've had to tell the blighters to take more. One little chap only had a packet Parma Violets, so I said take more and he took another packet of the same. In the end I had to grab a handful and put them in his bag for him.

One good thing about living in Flats, is that you don't get the little ******* at your door.

Ummm... it was actually the Scots and Irish exporting their traditions over to the US. We've (the English) been celebrating All Hallows E'en this way longer than the US has been around.

Go look up guising...

I went out tonight, but as i was setting up in the car the youngest and 1st lot of all trick or treaters with their parents started approaching my drive as i started the car up.

Haha made the poor little buggers cry, needless to say they ran away and didnt dare knock on the door.

Don't believe in it at all. Form of begging. People always going on about people scrounging yet because of the day they don't mind. Doesn't it link back to witch craft ?

I'm sick of the trick or treaters, so I'm turning the lights out and pretending I'm not in.

In principle no problem, my kids look forward to it. In reality roaming gangs of arsehole teenagers. Early doors our carved pumpkin was taken from the doorstep along with sweets plus bowl they were in while we were out with our kids. Whole thing is just ****e.

I've just found out from my boss that he topped up his sweet bowl with dried chillies, 'cos the first lot of kids almost emptied it.
