Move to Serbia! Halloween is only just catching on and everybody lives in a 10 story flat with a locked main front door - nobody has a chance to get to your door!
Second to last house in the village on the road out. No street light within 50 metres = no trick or treaters knocking in the door
Hate the way we are being taken over by American customs. Trick or Treat and Proms are just two that it's a pity we ever started. Luckily we live down a dark driveway so it's unlikely they will trick or treat down here. Have a party by all means but don't go annoying people and terrorising OAP's. Anyway the general rule is that unless your house is decorated outside they shouldn't knock which works fine if they are with their parents.
In our village, orange posters are put through your door in Halloween week. If you accept trick or treaters, then you put the Orange poster in the window or at the gate.
Good idea. At the moment we have some fireworks going off somewhere which is making my dog pace and pant. I wish they would stick to 5th November and New Years Eve, I end up having to drug the dog for about a fortnight just to get him through.
I looked it up. Your question is going to die unless you let people loose on Wiki. Nobody is going to guess that.
You're right! of course I had to Wiki it! Well 2 of us know! and as it's not that interesting maybe we should just keep it to ourselves for a distant pub quiz in 2025
You could try this Godders, I found this in a BBC story "There are also some rules about the types of treats to offer, Kelly Marie suggested that providing healthy treats might see you left in peace the following year, an experience replicated by @Sweckles on Twitter: please log in to view this image Image copyright@sweckles/Twitte
No knocks on the door, cat came home safely, about a minute of fireworks so a successful Halloween for me. I couldn't believe last year that British companies started "Thanksgiving" sales at the end of November. It's a bloody American holiday, nothing to do with us so there's no way you're getting any of my money. Idiots.
Last year I bought 4 ounces of dolly mixtures and gave one sweet to every child who knocked on the door. The bag didn't last long but the worse part was having to shut the door quickly so that the very lovely Mrs Godders didn't hear what the little sods called me.
That's Halloween done and dusted!! If you lived in Trinidad, Carnivale (Mardi Gras) is the big one there!! It is also big in Cadiz, Sitges and some place in the Netherlands.
Walking down the street in Esporles where I live in Mallorca when I hear a builder's mobile ringing to the sound of Mike Oldfield's "Portsmouth."
Sorry, missed this before. It's something to do with being closest to the starters 'pole' if memory serves?
