I live in a condo, and its surprising the amount of people who live in houses that want to come over to ours for a drink so they don't have to give out sweets. Maybe its the recession.

I know it's not such a 'tradition' here in the UK. I do like it when the kiddies come round all dressed up having made a real effort. Though last year I really had to draw the line at the hulking 16 year old standing there with his hood up and a scarf over his mouth!!!:sneaky:

Did you give him the keys to your car?

I read him his fortune. To add to the complete cheek of it all, he was a week late! When he realised he wasn't getting any thing I was half expecting him to offer to sing a carol!:lol:

Ah, the ones on my street were so cute in their big hulking hoodies & gruff voices saying their please & thank yous for chocolates & telling each other to close the garden gate - seemed spoof like they were so against stereotype

The same ones came back for mince pies at Xmas, but had to sing for them:)
