Happy Halloween everyone!
[img] http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/halloween/haloweencat.gif[/img]
Just wanted to say hope everyone has a happy and safe day/night with the little (and large)
trick and treaters who will be out and about later tody.
Remember if your porch light is on - it is almost *a given* that you may have treats inside (or tricks)..although lots of folk have their lights on regardless.
I know this is really an American tradition, but as with lots of things USA, they come here too...[:0]
Maybe if you have elderly or vulnerable folk living nearby, a little heads-up may be in order.
Have fun! *J*[img] http://www.en.kolobok.us/smiles/artists/mother_goose/MG_38.gif[/img]

Sorry........I know this has passed but I have to query this......"if your porch light is on"? Sounds like nonsense. I thought the standard was if you have bothered to stick a candle in a pumpkin or apply some sort of halloween decoratuion to your house. Having your porch light on, if you have a porch AND if it has a light sounds like an everyday activity.......hardly signalling willingness to have kids dressed as monsters knock at your door.

There certainly seemed to be more adults out and about town on Saturday night. Witches and vampires all over the place -- some people seemed to have gone to quite a lot of effort (whitened faces etc)

As I said previously...>I know this is really an American tradition, but as with lots of things USA, they seem to come here too.. and as such, it is possible...<cough> if they (the little monsters), see a light on then there's a fair chance they could get some treats!
Anyway, its all done and dusted now for yet another year.. *J* [img]

Have heard from a colleague in the police that this year has been absolutely terrible for so called "trick or treat" all over the county. It's nothing more than threatening behaviour and should be totally banned!

Ah, but you're assuming I'd disagree with you. [;)]
