I love it!

Of course, you could just go out trick or drinking and forget the kids.

You know I always set up a table in the driveway, have a discreet cocktail (or three) and check out the Daddies.

Like most North American holidays, Hallowe'en began life as a Christian holy day (in spite of what certain Christian fundamentalists will tell you to the contrary about it being a day of devil worship or whatever) that's meaning and celebration has shifted dramatically over time.

That said, when you compare to the other two big Christian-based holidays, Christmas and Easter, Hallowe'en actually retains more of its holy symbols and significance than either of those days do, albeit in a strange and silly way.

Trick or treating is believed to have begun because the day before All Saint's Day, or All Soul's Day was supposed to be the day when the veils between our world and the demon world dropped. To appease demons, people would leave offerings of food or money (treats) outside their homes in hopes they'd be left alone. Those that didn't would be punished. (tricks)

Same here. My nephew is going to be 13 next year,and my Mom was talking about how this might be the last year he would be able to go,and I thought,why? and how do you explain that to him?

Yes, no teenagers. The big kids came to my house once and were knocking the little kids out of the way for free candy. I do not give goodies to big ass teenagers!!

Do like Frank on "Everybody Loves Raymond" and give them condoms.

Yes! I'm sick and tired of greedy ass high school students panhandling at my door with maybe some greasepaint on their faces. They don't even bother to dress up. I think this year I'ma tell their lazy asses, "No costume, no candy!"

Tell them, "No more candy for you!"

I do not like my neighbors! I am going to hand out cartons of eggs, TP, and bags of dog poo.

Okay sweetas mate thanks for that. So basically when children come to ur door and say 'trick or treat' what would happen if U reply 'trick'?

When you choose to "trick" you scare the kids away from your door.... its so fun. A neighbor disguised himself as a scarecrow and sat with other fake scarecrows on his porch, stayed very still, and then would jump out and scare the kids away. A few young ones cried, but all in all it was part of the fun.

Damn, ya'll had some strict parents! I went trick or treating until I was like 15 or 16 years old. It was hard giving it up, because I loved seeing what candy I was going to get.

Last year, my mom and I noticed that there were a lot of teenagers coming to the house on Halloween. Good sized groups of them, like 6 or 8 at a time. We didn't see too many of the younger ones; they all seemed to be junior high and older.

My best friend at the time had to stop one year ahead of me.

It doesn't happen here in this part of the World so I've never understood the significance behind it.

Yes there needs to be age limits if they dont outlaw it outright. Im tired of being held hostage by having to get up and give out candy if I should remain at home the night it falls on. I dont want to dismiss some people (older yahoos/teenagers) because I dont want them returning later and doing something to my property. All I can do is shake my head at these...people.

I'm going trick or treating this year and I'm 32! Of course, I will have a 3 year old with me. Not my 3 year old but I will have a child to hide behind so I can get free candy.

Teens are running for candy while they can still get away with it. Lots of younger kids these days aren't allowed to go trick or treating. Their parents drag them to lame ass "harvest festivals" and "autumn parties" instead.
