Trick or treaters

[robfosters]

Tonight has been insane for trick or treaters. We must have had about 30 knocks in the last couple of hours. Already gone through £25 worth of sweets and still getting knocks. I’ve never known it to be like this, it seems to be getting busier each year.

What’s your area been like for it tonight?

Sounds like you were prepared for it so surely that's good that you have such a vibrant community ?

 

[sidimmu]

Have not had a trick or treater at my place for over 8 years....
I put all the pumpkins out etc, still no one.

 

[Trifid]

I'm pretending not to be in. Been successful so far.

 

[Drollic]

I think the ring doorbell puts them off.

 

[MatsyLR]

Had a few knocks just ignored them

 

[Scuzi]

I'm enjoying some of the parents' costumes.

Bit quiet this year and we're lit up and pumpkins out.

Used to hate it before kids but enjoy it now, nice community event.

our street has an unwritten rule where if you have pumpkins out it means you welcome trick or treaters. Unfortunately I've had COVID over last weekend so haven't been able to get anything sorted this year.

But we've been left alone, whereas our neighbours have had a few knocks.

I live down a road full of old people, nobody comes down here and only one house has decorations out.

I have noticed a lot more "Look at meeeee" posts on the local Facebook group though, literally inviting people to their houses and showing off with photos and videos. I even saw a proper poster someone made!

Shutters drawn, curtains closed, lights off at the front of the house. No knocks.

Oh I thought it was firework night.

 

[Mr Badger]

It was touch and go, but we managed to get enough Brussel Sprouts dipped in chocolate and wrapped to keep up with the demand.

 

[ristac]

We moved to a very rural area, just 8 houses along our stretch, zero trick or treaters and better still, not heard a firework yet

 

[something daft already!!]

Not had a single one and never have here. I would ignore it anyway if they did. Loads of fireworks were going off earlier though.

Dozens like most years. Left the bowl out now as the little one is off to bed.

Hard to put food on the table when the food isn't knocking on the door

 

[d_brennen]

I'm in another country so they can knock all they want

 

[Thekwango]

Had quite a few. Our kids are out so it’s kind of a given we’ve got supplies in and ready. Good to see kids out being kids rather than stuck on phones/tablets/whatever

Is your spare key still under the plant pot?
