.... 23 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Used to call this 'Guiser's Night' in Scotland when I was a little kid. Still do I think. We'd not the luxury of pumpkins though and hollowed out turnips or 'tumshies' as we called 'em. The North Americans were late at the party! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I thought this one in the Lincolnshire Poacher was pretty good the other night - the Castle Rock logo...! This guy was my favourite though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 6,284 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 hopefully this should discourage the little fuck3r from knocking on my door 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pixie 162 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 HAHAHAHA!! I love it! I did the outside of the house up in lots of cobwebs this evening, pumpkins, skulls etc.. Had lots of trick or treaters,luckily all of them were small kiddies with their parents, so i didnt mind.. to them its abit of fun! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Don't mind the young bairns at all. I hope they all had fun tonight before the heavy rains came locally. Don't seem to get the nonsense with teenagers these days personally? Guisers night - not Trick or Treat! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pixie 162 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Luckily this year i only had one set of teens nock on, they wernt dressed up at all, one was on her phone.. they said trick or treat then the one on the phone said 'Nah, i was sayin trick or treat to the lady ''innit'' ' Needless to say i told them they were too old and to go else were, stop ruining it for the little ones! I had a mum, dad and toddler come too, all dressed up - i was quite impressed and gave them extra sweets! The rain came so sudden! But im sure by the time we got it round here all the small kids had finished their fun and was home getting tucked up in bed. I bought the pumpkins in doors and kept them lit (How nice does it smell when the candle cooks/scortches the tops?) with a few extra candles around the fire place then me and the fella exchanged stories about our ghostly happenings in the old house. I struggled to sleep last night, best types of ghost stories! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 I had three girls come to my house last night. Two little girls and one a little older. I haven't a clue how old or who they were. They had made a lot of effort to get dressed up and their faces painted, this being the reason I didn't recognise them. We are not really into 'trick and treat' so don't normally answer the door. However, thinking it was my wife, who'd been to the shops, I did. I gave them a handful of change and they seemed happy enough. The thing that concerned me though, was that three little girls, with no adult in sight, were going around in the dark knocking on doors. Maybe I'm being a killjoy but with what happens today I find it alarming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 All kiddies round here were accompanied by their parents,except one group who had a teenage sister with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,424 Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Its over for another year. Sigh of relief. I guess now I'll go out and check out the Christmas stuff in the stores. NOT! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Our neighbours had visits by children doing trick or treat. We did not. One year I answered the door to a group. A parent was waiting for them at the end of the drive. I explained that I could not give them sweets as they may be allergic and they should not take sweets from strangers. Instead I told them my special Halloween joke. It goes like this. Two buckets of sick were walking down the road in the old part of the town. Suddenly one of them burst into floods of tears. The other one asked what was the matter. The tearful one said "I was brought up around 'ere"! Nostalgia! Since then we never get visits for trick or treat! 1 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 7,594 Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 We have a Light party at church this evening where we celebrate life and light (and we eat nice food and sweets, have games, songs and crafts as well). Why celebrate death when you can celebrate Life? 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
