Knock Knock - Trick or Treat! What do you do?

noizeuk · 28 Oct 2019 at 22:58

I don't know if it's just me, maybe I am a bore... but when trick or treaters knock on the door, I treat them the same was as a Jehovas Witness. That is to say, I make sure I stay completely still, make sure no shadows cast on the blinds and live in fear that they might catch me being alive.. in my own house.

What do you do? Is it purely an American thing? Am I being awkward? Does having kids factor into the fun. Hell, as I have no kids, is it creepy to get involved?

I am tres conflicted.

Considering I am from a **** poor family, I was never really touted out for Halloween as a form of sustenance. I have no idea what the rules are. No pumpkin? Assume they spent the money on sweets?
