Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring
( who the fuck is ring ring ringing? )
Open the door ...... three little chidlers with buckets.
Sorry kids says I. I don't have anything.
Kids look sad and very puzzled.
( I think ...... bloody hell they don't know what YOU ARE NOT GETTING OWT means )
I repeat. I haven't got anything sorry.
Mum says...... it's okay C'mon kids.
Kids run off.
I say ..... Awwwwwwwwwwwwww sorry.
Mum says .... It's okayyyyyyyyy.
I shut door.
I was really thinking ....... Who the fuck are they ? Never seen them before!Why don't they knock during the year to sweep my front or sommat?
Is is just me ? I have NO intentions of giving sweets to kids i've never seen in my life before. OR kids I have seen for that matter.
Their buckets were pretty full and they were nice kids ...... I find this begging out of order.

I'm intentionally sitting in my bedroom (back of the flat) with all other lights out to avoid this awkwardness. All I have is rice cakes or grapes anyway! |

Bah humbug!! Or is that the wrong season 
Ha.
Actually I'm just teasing - I think the kids should follow a code and only knock on 'Trick or Treat friendly' houses.
I identify as one of those as I have pumpkins on display, so don't mind the kids coming.
And to be fair, the kids around here are pretty decent, very polite and gracious so it's all good!
But many people don't want to get involved or may be scared by large numbers of youths turning up - if a house isn't easily recognisable as 'Halloween friendly' they should skip on by I think!  |

Part of me likes the whole halloween thing. But it kind of hypocritical. We teach kids not to take sweets off strangers, then one night a year dress hem up and send them knocking doors for exactly that. My nieces only visit houses of people they know in the street or other friends houses. |

See........ We always did halloween as kids .... BUT your family did it for YOU.
We did duck apple. Oranges on string. Ginger cake. Toffee apples. Songs. Ghost stories. Treacle Toffee......... family and friend parties....
We did NOT go to other peoples houses and ask for stuff. |

I loved halloween growing up in Ireland but we didn't go begging!
It was all done in our own road with people we knew and then a little party after with apple bobbing etc.
Some of the little kids at my door this evening have been awful, grabbing handfuls of sweets like savages and the parents just standing there.
I've had to take 2 pieces and hand them out instead.

on the other hand there was a lovely child not dressed up (I know) but he was only about 6. With his older brother who said they didn't have money for a costume so I brought him in and gave him a mask and sweets.
He was bloody thrilled. |

When i was a kid me and my mates use to do the entire town, shops, offlicences, warehouses even move onto the next town and the one after that sugar gave us the energy to keep going, made a smal fortune, infact i say when i was a kid we still done it at 16 17 year old |

Just handed out 5 mini packs of chocolate buttons to be asked, "Why haven't you given my child anything?"
I was tempted to reply appropriately but decided just to suggest they shared the (fookin) sweets. |

my house is Halloween friendly. I even have my proper broom up in the window but a soft toy black cat as mine wouldn't stay on it ( hes seen me fly it I think ) got pumpkins in the windows too x my kids are out and hopefully being as polite as those knocking on my door... love the little ones that have made an effort.
Just had one ask me if Im a real witch as I have a broom.. I said shhhhh and winked... and they giggled. X |

Oh So much you assume so little you know xx
But yes I'm proud not to encourage , endorse, condone , and be complicit with helping our future generations strengthen their addiction to the damaging highly refined drug plant extract sugar .
The sooner society realises that sweets are not a treat for kids , rather they are addictive drug pushed by large corps that humans become dependant upon for life

because there kids I grow up in a world where I could go fishing with out any maggots only bread and cheese and the adults who were fishing there would give you a few maggots or there bait when they were going home .
I grow up in a world where I could do penny for the guy at the top of our road and be given 10p here 20p there and raise over £100 pound for the firework party that all the kids in the street would attend ,
I live in a world where when i took my nieces to feed the ducks we would give some of the bread to other little kids there to.
I grow up in a world where everyone helped everyone else where the old boy with a allotment would give away his access to everyone down the street .
once you grow up in that kind of world you don't view it as paying for others peoples kids to have some sweets or fireworks you just view it as spreading a bit of joy to a few kids hoping that they to will one day grow up to be the kind of adult that's shares for the joy of sharing and likes to spread a bit of joy when ever its possible to do so in a friendly way . |

It's just a bit of fun and tooth rot for the kid's. It's been really quiet around here for the last couple of year's so I haven't bothered getting any sweets this time. Fuck the door's just gone...I feel mean now  |

The reality round mine:
Pissed up students wearing masks ring doorbell at 12:30am requiring me to chase them down the street yelling at them in my dressing gown. Bastards. |

"Next year I'm bulk buying apples and loads of those mini toothpastes and giving them out instead!
"
Would be cheaper than what I spent on sweets I think!
It's all finished now by me, I'm on a new build estate and almost every house on my row has decorations outside, the house opposite has some legs sticking out from under the garage door, looks like a body has been severed! The street went all out this year was brill! |

"The reality round mine:
Pissed up students wearing masks ring doorbell at 12:30am requiring me to chase them down the street yelling at them in my dressing gown. Bastards."
.
That sounds great fun, I missed being a student so now I'm considering it |

"Part of me likes the whole halloween thing. But it kind of hypocritical. We teach kids not to take sweets off strangers, then one night a year dress hem up and send them knocking doors for exactly that. My nieces only visit houses of people they know in the street or other friends houses.
See........ We always did halloween as kids .... BUT your family did it for YOU.
We did duck apple. Oranges on string. Ginger cake. Toffee apples. Songs. Ghost stories. Treacle Toffee......... family and friend parties....
We did NOT go to other peoples houses and ask for stuff. "
Well said Granny. You must've been posh though. Oranges on strings? We had baking apples. Split lips, missing teeth and black eyes all round. But we was 'appy.  |

"Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring
( who the fuck is ring ring ringing? )
Open the door ...... three little chidlers with buckets.
Sorry kids says I. I don't have anything.
Kids look sad and very puzzled.
( I think ...... bloody hell they don't know what YOU ARE NOT GETTING OWT means )
I repeat. I haven't got anything sorry.
Mum says...... it's okay C'mon kids.
Kids run off.
I say ..... Awwwwwwwwwwwwww sorry.
Mum says .... It's okayyyyyyyyy.
I shut door.
I was really thinking ....... Who the fuck are they ? Never seen them before!Why don't they knock during the year to sweep my front or sommat?
Is is just me ? I have NO intentions of giving sweets to kids i've never seen in my life before. OR kids I have seen for that matter.
Their buckets were pretty full and they were nice kids ...... I find this begging out of order.
Did your mummy not allow you to go out trick or treating.....stop taking it out on this generation of kids. It's the one day in the year they can get away from their play stations and playboys....sorry game boys and get some fresh air... "
Trick or Treating ? I didn't grow up in America.
We all had family / street good old British duck apple night.
See above.
Im not taking anything out on any generation of kids...... BEGGING is BEGGING. I don't know them. |

someone's forgotten the wonder and excitement of being a kid me thinks
It's not wonder or excitement banging on strangers doors expecting sweets it's begging
I suppose you think penny for the guy is begging to .
but hay everyone loves a misery guts because they remind us all what to not end up like ,
Okay smile a while ......... Explain to me please WHY other people should pay for other people's kids fireworks ?
because there kids I grow up in a world where I could go fishing with out any maggots only bread and cheese and the adults who were fishing there would give you a few maggots or there bait when they were going home .
I grow up in a world where I could do penny for the guy at the top of our road and be given 10p here 20p there and raise over £100 pound for the firework party that all the kids in the street would attend ,
I live in a world where when i took my nieces to feed the ducks we would give some of the bread to other little kids there to.
I grow up in a world where everyone helped everyone else where the old boy with a allotment would give away his access to everyone down the street .
once you grow up in that kind of world you don't view it as paying for others peoples kids to have some sweets or fireworks you just view it as spreading a bit of joy to a few kids hoping that they to will one day grow up to be the kind of adult that's shares for the joy of sharing and likes to spread a bit of joy when ever its possible to do so in a friendly way ."
Nice sentiment but pretty much untrue.
I repeat.
We DID halloween.
I won't provide for strangers. Why should I ?
Incidentally - I spread joy every day of the year. I just WONT buy sweets for strangers.......
or fireworks.

I think the clown thing has had an effect this year. I've given hardly anything away. I was able to eat dinner without anyone banging on the door and watch the Dispatches report on obesity. 
My staff will be very happy when I take the excess into work tomorrow.

I don't agree with kids going from house to house to beg for sweets from strangers. We spend all their lives warning them about stranger danger and telling them not to accept things from them, and then on Halloween we send them out to do just that.
When I lived in Nottingham we used to get loads of kids coming around knocking and it would drive my dog insane. I started putting a notice on the door saying no trick or treat and on the whole people would respect that and pass us by. |

Makes me chuckle when someone's idea of a treat is an apple, the kids faces are like whaaaaat?!
All good natured here though, pumpkin friendly houses or those who don't wish to participate have the neighbourhood watch posters and/ or porch lights out.. |

Begging is knocking on doors that haven't got into the sprit of Halloween, if you dress the house up or take the time to carve a pumpkin you are joining in and making little kiddies night, that's not begging in my opinion!
Someone did have a good point further up though, we do teach our kids not to speak to strangers etc yet we happily let them knock on doors and take sweets!!

the Americanization of samhain the Celtic festival, it's better than how the Irish tribes who used the festival to assacinate their political leaders throw them into bogs.
Beg to differ. I can see things to celebrate there."

Surely though if an adult dresses their home up, carves a pumpkin and buys sweets that's them entertaining the kids? It's them inviting the kids to come and knock on their door, it's not begging, it's getting in Halloween mood with the kids. If someone didn't do all that and kids still knocked then yes, 100% it's begging as they are not inviting said kids to knock.

"We put a padlock on our gate."
I know someone who did that .... they were really pissed off when a crafty prankster sabotaged the lock with super glue so they ended up having to hacksaw the lock off ....
Trick or treat,,,, |

I agree (hugely belatedly (is that a phrase)) with Dan, I taught my kids that just dressed houses were taking part and to not knock at others, it should be opt in not hide out on Halloween, personally I dislike the whole thing as it's just more Americanisation of our culture but try explaining that to a six year old
