We don't do halloween because we live on a busy road where there are very few families with children, and if there are they tend to go to the quieter roads/streets. Tried it a couple of years ago and didn't get anyone coming so gave it up.

Can’t post a pic of DD2, but here’s Little Dog looking thrilled - not!

Don’t worry Jaffa.
Mae’s thread is under Pedants Corner and about money grabbing Halloween.

This is a much nicer thread.

Sorry didn't see the other thread !

We were out till 6, but the pumpkin then went in the window. We don’t get many kids round here anyway, so dh and I might have to eat most or all of the sweets, oh dear….

Now I stay in the dark ( well not literally ) I used to put lights and a pumpkin or something outside, last year I did it as usual, got the sweets in, and not one person called, so I haven’t bothered this year .
I haven’t seen anyone out and about so far.

I don’t particularly like it but I do put pumpkins outside and have a bowl of sweets ready.As our grandchildren do trick or treating in their village and love it I feel I should do the same for the children here.My grandchildren chose the sweets yesterday and carved the pumpkins🎃🎃🎃

We have had eleven little ones tonight all dressed up and so polite.They all took just one bag of sweets until I said they could take more!

There’s already a long thread on Halloween, but under a rant from Mae.
Most following posts ‘disagree’ with her views.

Unfortunately there are no little ones on or near my small development. I’ve a bag of Haribos (little bags) but think I’ll be eating them myself over the next few days.

DD2 has just sent a picture of her dressed to collect DGS2 from Nursery, before going on to a Halloween party for 3 year olds. I’d love to post it, but she could be recognized.

Really enjoying having lots of little ones dressed as witches,skeletons and evil looking ghoulies knocking at the door. We have a system in our area. If you have decorations outside the house then they call. I have some orange balloons on the door and am working through a box of 50 bags of sweets.
Do you love Halloween or do you stay in the dark ignoring any calls ?
