| 1428038 | 2016-10-31 17:19:00 | We put out a sign (bought from the Warehouse a few years back) saying "No trick or treaters" and so we are left alone. It was originally an Irish custom taken up by the Yanks and morphed out of all proportion. It's something that NZ has taken to some time over the last 30 or 40 years. Personally I think it's a load of old rubbish.:waughh: None here. It's begging under a different name and they teach kids its ok. |

It's wrong.:( I agree, any fun in the concept of "trick or treat" has long since gone down the gurgler. Here's what I posted on another blog: My intro to Halloween was in the 70s when I lived in a (then) middle class Houston Tx inner suburb close to Westheimer and the Galleria for those who know Houston. First off the rank just after sundown were the neighbourhood white folk and their kids, parents conspicuously standing on the sidewalk, safeguarding their kids against harm. Kids invariably polite and having fun. Later, the next wave arrived - the black Americans from three or four streets away but this time demanding their goodies. Mostly, they were protected against potential harm by their parents usually within earshot. The last wave were the Mexicans from another other part of town. These parents would park their bus at the end of the street, and the marauding swarm of little thugs would intimidate anyone idiotic enough to answer the door. An American "tradition" they're welcome to. |

Happens every time. :) Not a single Halloween caller this year, driveway must be too much for them. Either that or the locals all know about the car thieves living next door so banned all the kids from the shared driveway. :annoyed: |
