ladyram Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 You're excused Lady Ram. You obviously know your neighbours well and if it's a completely mutual agreement that's ok. I just feel that the reward for dressing up if necessary should be more useful than sweets. It would be a great way to combine fun and altruism at an early age if the kids did something which benefits others. When we were kids, we used to get a few coppers, save them, get a few more coppers from making a guy for the bonfire, and then we used to give it to me mum and she used to get some sparklers for us. That was how we did it. Same with Christmas Caroling, any money we got, we put towards buying some presents. Loads of people used to go carolling when we were younger, hardly see anyone now and I used to enjoy hearing singing. Society was different then though, it was all a lot friendlier.

rezner Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 We love it 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' /> We're all decorated and spooky here 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ph34r' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ph34r:' /> The kids round here (Marlpool) come round before 6 ish so it's all done and dusted for then. We only go to peoples houses we know. I've face painted our 2 as TMNT Leanardo and as Gene Simmons KiSS make up (we're fans) We've carved pumpkins and got spooky lights up. Plenty of sweets and blood(juice) to drink. Yer all miserable gits,get in the spirit (pun intended) of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cisse Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Let the kids enjoy Halloween or any other day with traditions. When they get old they will become like us, always complaining. And try to enjoy as you watch them have fun. Enough with this humbagh attitude. Geez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butthead Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Driving home from work tonight I saw loads of parents with costumes more elaborate than the kids, what's that all about?? Don't have the problem with the youngsters doing it, they love it and are hardly intimidating. It's the kids who are 14+ that are too old for it and are just out for the wrong reasons. Fortunately we don't really suffer from this nonsence in our area but feel sorry for anyone in Nottingham where the 'trick' could get ugly.

Alex W Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 In fairness, alot of people don't like it because of the amount of older kids that really shouldn't be trick or treating causing trouble, we tend to baton down the hatches too (or just go out of course). We've had drunken tw@ts shouting trick or treat and throwing stuff late at night on our street, teenagers bothering the same houses over and over again, asking for money etc, no surprise that alot of people are sick of it. The little kids must love it of course, but you invite alot of bother if you happen to be spotted by idiots who're there for the wrong reasons. Sounds miserable I suppose, but when an area's a bit dodgy, it's no surprise people don't like tonight at times. It'd be better if everyone set out a time for all the young-uns to go out trick or treating and then stop after a certain time, half 7 or something like that, that'd atleast stop some of the bother and get a few more people opening their doors etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsRam Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 My sister opened the door to two lads, in boiler suits, wearing ice hockey masks, with two girls, barely dressed. She gave them a bag of Haribo's and asked if the girls wanted to borrow a coat. 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' /> I like to see the kids all dressed up but anyone after 7 and I don't answer.
