Whatever happened to.......

Or out working 

Or feel obliged to open their door.

The reason why Halloween has become such a big thing is that UK retailers discovered how big it was in the USA and have since tried to replicate its sales success over here. It is a similar story with Valentines day.

We are not keen on Halloween and would normally close ourselves off from it, ie lights out etc. However last year one of our neighbours asked if she could bring her two young daughters around and we were happy to agree. We did the same this year. So by appointment is fine in the Klyne household!!!!

Bonfire Night is a bit different. Sensibly it seems to have moved towards more organised displays. I suppose also no self respecting twenty first century youngster is going to stand around on a cold and windy street corner asking for a penny for the guy!!!

We have not had one Trick or Treat caller in the last 30 years.

There are some right miserable old sods on here. We don't  get gangs of older kids knocking on our door, just neighbour's youngsters coming round with their parents. We buy a mixed bag of sweets especially for them. 

 I wouldn't know MM

We always buy a tin of sweets. Never seem to get very many, just a few youngsters. When we were on a CC site over one Halloween, we did take a tin of sweets, but there were no callers.

We also buy a tin of sweets, we then lock the door, turn up the TV and scoff them all 

Same here 

That's the same with us. A plastic tin ( if that makes sense) of Haribos bought weeks ago. We had only a couple of groups of children call, so there's quite a lot left for me ( I'm a big kid at heart)
