"Do you take the kids? Do you like/hate when people come to your door? I think it's a shame it doesn't happen so much any more, but I feel rude doing it. I only really know a couple of neighbours. My sister suggests do it but only go to houses with some kind of Halloween decoration up. What's the general consensus? " If you came to my door I'd give you all the sweets I had | |||

"I miss doing this with my kids, just about every house in my road takes part They're 15 & 16 now, it's a bit uncool to wander round with 'the old hag' but they can now take their younger step sisters & brother out. I get to stay home & pretend to be scared when others knock at my door " Yeah, that's it. I don't want my wee one to miss out on the experience of doing it together, as I loved it. But people don't seem very receptive any more and I don't to be a pest. | |||

"My dilemma is that I love taking the kids out guising, but I also feel bad for the kids that come to my door when I'm out! " Yeah I think that too! Although, being a grubber, it is kind of a win-win if you get loads and don't need to dish out | |||

"I like it with known friends and others, as it can be distressing for many older people. The trick aspect can be reflective of disrespect for others that many now display. " Do people actually do the trick part ? I've always just known it that they need to have a joke ready to tell and then they'll get a treat. | |||

"I used to love answering the door to them when I lived at my mum's. Now I live in a flat so I don't get them. I loved seeing all their costumes and how excited they were. Most kids are so polite and will only take one thing and it was lovely to see the big grin on their face when I let them take more. Kids always need more excuses to be kids while they still can." I agree! I was at Halloween discos tonight (primary school age) and they were just all so excited to show off their outfits and be out when it was dark. Adorable. | |||

"Really dislike it on many levels. Transatlantic import, smacks of begging, is distressing to many people who are elderly or alone. " Yeah I can definitely understand some people not liking it. Although guising was a thing long before Anyone called it trick or treating, so I do know a lot of older people who'll stock up on their satsumas and monkey nuts and the kids make their night if they come and do a wee song or joke for them. I just don't live near any of them anymore unfortunately ! I think a wee sign or something you could cut out a newspaper and stick in your window to show whether you're ok with it would be good. I don't do external decorations but I'm happy with people coming to me. | |||

"Can't stand it. I will be taking no part in it. Like Christmas, it's become commercialised to the point of extortion. I mean does any kid actually know what Halloween represents? Bah humbug! Lol Anyway, I'll be at work on nights! " To be fair most adults dont know what Halloween represents either! | |||

"I'm of the age where Halloween wasn't a "thing" when I was younger - we were too busy getting ready for bonfire night - pinching wood and raiding other local kids wood from theirs to make ours better! Oh and making penny for the guy who'd eventually be thrown on top! " I'm with you and mischief night was much more fun | |||

"At my house, the driveway has been filled with land mines; the moat has been stocked with crocodiles, piranha and great white sharks; the doorbell and door knocked have been wired up to 500,000 volts, plus boiling hot tar is waiting to be poured down off the ramparts! Any child surviving all that will be sold as a slave!! Cue Maniacal Laughter, as per Vincent Price! Carol Singers in December face the same fate!!" Spoken like a true hospitality professional haha | |||
