I am already dreading Monday night. Those little creatures will be knocking down our door wanting treats. Some of them wear really stupid costumes too. I just feel like extending my hand from behind a almost closed door and throwing the stuff in their bags…
How do you deal with this stupid tradition. I have also once turned off all the lights and just stayed put inside the house.
I think this year I will put on my shalwar kameez and knock at all the doors.
Which reminds me of that episode of Curb your enthusiasm where the girls come in their regular clothes and the guy gives all the others candy but keeps telling these girls that they need to dress up if they want treats. So they put toilet roll all over his trees and plants...
The apparent suicide of a woman found hanging from a tree went unreported for hours because passers-by thought the body was a Halloween decoration, authorities said.
…
The body, suspended about 15 feet above the ground, could be easily seen from passing vehicles.
It's too cold to hand out treats. For the past few years it was my duty to give out candies, but I ended up running out of treats too soon cause I would give more sweets to whoever looked the cutest (especially the little ones).
We enjoy the cutely dressed kids - they are adorable - at least the little ones are. We don't care for the teenage ones. But the ones that come w/ their parents knocking and cannot even hold their basket in their hand are just too cute in their kitten, scooby doo, princess outfits :)
We do turn off the lights when we don't feel like giving out candy :-)
I have never given out sweets to children on Halloween. I politely remind them that chocolate and sweets will rot their teeth. Sometimes the little ones cry, but their parents should know better. The teenagers tell me to F off and the parents give me hackies. I don't care, I am doing them a favour, who wants obese children with rotton teeth? It's a form of child abuse!
