I was always under the notion of Halloween edicate that ran something like: If your porch light is on then I give candy. If it is off then don't bother knocking I do not participate.
Also the Trick part is instead of candy and performed by the tenant not the kids who are out for a fun night. The trick instead of candy.
As for my house on Halloween only 2 kids came and said trick or traet and they put no effort into it. No costume what so ever. Just shorts, Tshirt and runners. Last year was the same too but more kids knocked on the door till about midnight.
I do not let my kids Trick or Treat. I have read about bigger kids bashing smaller ones for the candy. I have hear of abusive adults at doors instead of simple go aways or sorry no Trick and Treating. What is this world coming too. It will be America soon and we will have razor blade inplanted into apples and poisons in cookies and lollies etc. No I tell the kids that Halloween is a commercial rendition of All Hallows Night. If you are curious look it up.
