    My kids wanted to go trick or treating so I took them around to their grandparents in the afternoon to get some lollies. Would never let my children knock on a strangers door and beg for food.

    IMHO... Trick or treating is begging...

    Well I hope you miserable old codgers survived last night without overdosing on bile and spleen...

    MasterD (20 months old) enjoyed the costumes coming to the door immensely. Hey, and what's with these polite NZ kids? Hold out a big tub of sweets and they take two or three? Grab a handful, go on!

    Ah ya miserable bunch of buggers - kids find magic in this sort of stuff for such a short period of time in their lives, where's the harm? Next you'll be telling them all that the tooth fairy doesn't exist and that Santa died in a sleigh crash.....

    We had heaps of kids turn up last night - all really well made up in Hallowe'en gore! - and they all got a handful of lollies each Still lots left over tho - am trying to resist!!

    Good job it wasn't me coming to your doors - when I was a kid, 'trick or treat' really did mean 'trick' or 'treat' - send me away empty handed, get a trick played on you (the fave was a bar of soap rubbed onto the windscreen of the car in the driveway - a bastard to get off, but no harm done....)!

    Already had one knock on the door, and aside from the fact that we don't keep lollies in the house, we're against the whole thing, so we ignored them. Just call us the Grinch-dogs.
    LOL... im glad im not the only one that see's the other side of it !!...

    Same person (stranger) that gave lollies last night see's same trick or treater kid... slows down in car 'hey do you want to come for a ride? I have more lollies for you'...

    Bollocks

    It is an american tradition that has been commercialised here in good ole NZ -next we will be expected to celebrate thanksgiving as well.

    By all means dress your wee ones up and have a bit of fun ..... in your own back yard... don't bring 'em into mine and expect to get sweets for it. bah humbug

    Notices on both the letterbox and the front door are ignored and parents are often abusive if you open the door to turn them away politely.

    My youngest had the right idea when he was living at home and used to keep weetbix and apples by the door and hand them out randomly. The nasty responses that he got from both the adults and the children were eyeopeners into the expectations that had been obviously been set.

    Halloween?!?
    I really fucking hate it!
    Not only do we have hordes of kids begging at our door, but invariably my son's car gets pelted with eggs, just because there's nowhere to park it except on the street. The paint's kinda rooted now, with nice egg-shaped scratches and bits peeled off, and it made me late this morning helping him to clean it. At least this time we didn't have the house and/or gargre egged, or the fishpond filled with crap.

    It's like Guy Fawkes - of no relevance to Noo Zilund and just an excuse for purveyors of cheap crap to foist it off on brain-dead consumers.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....
