Halloween Thank You

[EdmundD]

To those nice kids who spattered my living room window with eggs at midnight. If you had bothered to ring the doorbell or knock I would have given you the sweets I had ready for you. Maybe next year? And I wonder why you were out on the streets at that time of night?

[ummmm]

I doubt they use this site.

As someone wrote on another thread, "Just an excuse for yobs" I doubt small children would of done it at that time.

''Maybe next year?''

... you''ll get bacon.

From the other thread I mentioned


//No and I think it is a terrible practice. It is essentially demanding goodies with menaces. If you don't give me a treat then I will egg bomb your door, flour bomb your door or smear dog poo on your door.
No surprise when these kids grow up into fully fledged yobs! //

You would have given sweets to kids knocking on your door at midnight?

Seriously?

In all the time that I have lived in my flat nobody has come to my door. It's nice and peaceful.

You should start being nicer to people, Wolfy.

[ummmm]

Except it isn't an American tradition.

Are you referring to Hallowe'en or the associated vandalism, ummmm?

I'm talking about the latter, you know, the 'prank'.

It doesn't matter if it came out of the ark, it should be banned.
Have Halloween parties, dress up as witches and ghouls and have fun with your kids, just don't annoy people that don't want to be involved or behave like hooligans and potentially damage property just because other people do not want to comply with the same traditions that you do. It is the height of selfishness!

[spathiphyllum]

We did not inherit halloween from america.

[Chipchopper]

Not much fun running down the stairs in the middle of the night to hand out sweets to kids, if you happen to be a lighthouse keeper.

[emmie]

i wonder at the parents letting their offspring ring a complete strangers door bell late at night.

[ummmm]

JJ - round here they do the pumpkin thing. You put one on the doorstep and they are welcome to knock....otherwise walk on by.
