Happy Halloween

A nasty American idea this trick or treat thing .even there they have people who boobytrap sweets and fruit with all sorts of nasties ie glass for the revellers! Much prefer the Scottish tradition of guiders, where kids dreadful in fancy dress (homemade) and do a song or joke for which you got fruit. there was no threat!

Do you have any evidence of booby trapped sweets, sounds grotesque

unless neighbours, with young kids, have made prior arrangements our door is not answered. The adults are aware of this, so we are not usually bothered.

Has the world gone mad, yes, everywhere we've visited this week has been "halloweened." Google doodle today, even more of it!  Did it come from Scotland and go to America years ago....all that guising?!  grump grump...

She could have wished you a 'Happy Samhain' instead.

My nieces have lived in both new Hampshire and Minnesota where their father had to inspect the goodies so much that they eventually went to organised parties through school!, They had found tampered goodies!

Someone on here was asking if it was OK for their kids to go " trick or treating" on the CC site they were staying at last year!!

Needless to say it went down like a lead balloon

Its the only night of the year when I turn all the lights out at the front of the house and hide in the kitchen. Can't stand it! 

What a load of nonsense!!

Just another way for the shops to get money for selling rubbish. Many are full of tat.

One of the supermarkets was even using it as an excuse to advertise selling cheap alcohol. No problem with that () but what's it got to do with Halloween?

Pendle Halloween festival started today. We made a scarecrow witch for the garden and most of the village houses were decorated. Lots of families, with their children in fancy dress, following the treasure hunt.

100% Wonderful.
