*Somehow I always manage to over order for the sweets, who knew a 3kg bag of chews was quite that large and it seems my "better too many" snack size chocolates tends to result enough snacks for my niece for weeks (not to mention computer snacks for myself).
Interesting post, we usually have a tub of sweets for the kids, it's harmless fun for them and many of the costumes are quite creative!No, you're an ignorant and miserable sod. It's originally a British custom.

Yep, that's how we always see it too, being British and all... but there's a lot of lonely, miserable, anti-community spoilsport grumpy ******* on this forum.Interesting post, we usually have a tub of sweets for the kids, it's harmless fun for them and many of the costumes are quite creative!

Presumably they all like to go through town in December, telling every kid queueing outside the Santa's Grottoes that Father Christmas isn't real, too?
How is it American?This is yet another americanism we can do without. Next we will be celebrating American independence.

Like most things celebrated by Americans, we actually invented it... centuries ago, in this case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trick-or-treatingHalloween is a big old holiday over there. Here, we don't really care. Trick or treat did not happen in this country until the early 80's when it was widely shown in ET. This is pretty much when it came over here. We use to do a "Penny for the Guy" for fireworks night before this.
Wanna add indignant to the list, too?So now I'm ignorant too? Must be great to be you.
