I've got a big pumpkin thing full of sweets and I've had none? I'd better start munching.
Happy Halloween :scared:

Re: Have you had any Trick or Treaters?
I was sure I read on here that Oz does not "do" Halloween, so we bought nothing and had over 30 trick or treaters and had to say - sorry, we're new to here and didn't think you did this....sorry guys...next year! OPPS! There goes us making any friends in the neighbourhood!

Re: Have you had any Trick or Treaters?
we had quite a few, but had forgotten all about it. One poor lad had his bag of sweets nicked so we gave him a plastic bag!
The kids over here are a lot older than the ones that used to trick or treat at home, and some of them are right little gits. We went out to get some food, came back and there were a load of kids standing in the road, they wouldnt move and one lad was making faces at us. Little sh*t!

Re: Have you had any Trick or Treaters?
I was sort of hoping Halloween didn't happen in Oz - Stupid american commercialisation of an old pagan festival if you ask me!
I mean you walk round in some half arsed costume and beg for sweets and perform tricks on them that don't give - what a brilliant way of reinforcing anti social behaviour!
Maybe I'm just a miserable old git!!!! :scared:

We have kinda brought Halloween into area neighbourhood. I thought well weve given them Ivy and Brambles so why not spread some more UK joy
The local girls came over and hubby took them trick or treating. We ended the evening with them all doing apples on a string, Apple bobin with the sweets in flour etc. So much fun. They were all raving after. Maybe next year we will do it as a street party

Great , must tell my 7 year old daughter as she is a bit down today as she thought last night was her last halloween. We're moving to Oz in Jan and her friends have been saying "they don't do trick or treat in Australia" (so kind children)She will be happy.

Re: Have you had any Trick or Treaters?
We had loads last night, 3 tiny ones dressed up fantastically, you could see loads of effort had gone into it and they looked so cute. The rest were just teenagers in tracksuits with cheap masks on hoping for money and being not too impressed with a milky way..a cheap Asda's own at that lol
My friend had some older ones knock on her door and when she gave them sweets they said "haven't you got any money"
Bloody cheek!!!!
