Trick or treat!

[dolf]

My village has been trying to come up with covid avoidance measures that will allow the village kidlets to enjoy Halloween. Someone has made a giant web, and pegged (washable) packets of candy to it. Someone else suggested people put pumpkins out, and parents reward the kidlets for each one they spot.

Personally, i think trick or treat is a shit tradition, obtaining candy through threats, accepting candy from strangers, etc, but it's nice to see people working together and making the effort none the less.

What's going on where you are?

I will do what I always do. Put out an empty bowl and a sign.




"take one and leave one for your neighbor"

The town is offering a “reverse trick or treat”. The fire and police department will dress up and deliver candy to your house.

The local farm is also doing some safe, socially distant type of thing.

I guess I will put a pumpkin out, with candy. The recommendation: a week before (so tonight) put candy in individual bags. Separate onto a tray and the kiddo can pick a baggy.

Meanwhile the kids who engage in the tradition meet their neighbors and form a sense of community.

is it anything like a spontaneous miscarriage?

Dolf could be burnt at the stake in her village for witch craft anyway. witch trial could be fun.

There are no trick or treaters in my 'hood. Why?

Good times.

‘Bout same as ever, with masks and individual kids vs squads.

One enterprising fellow in town has arranged a sliding chute which will allow him to drop treats into kiddies’ bags from six feet away.

Another bloody American invader tradition. What's wrong with bonfire night? Penny for the guy, spuds in the embers, parkin, burned Catholics?

Weirdly, Nov 5th isn't a thing in Northern Ireland. I thought at least half the population would be all over it.

We're going to encourage social distancing this year by turning off the porch light and pretending nobody's at home. In normal times we would sit in the driveway with the next door neighbors and a wood-fueled fire pit and pass out candy and enjoy "adult beverages" ourselves. Maybe we can get back out on the drive next year.

When I was young there was a family on the next block over who would hang a sheet in front of the garage door and show movies with an 8mm projector for Halloween. Plus candy.

Best place on the block.

My health department is recommending that people just put out a table covered with candy then leave it. Ya, that's going to work.

Here its Schrodingers Halloween.

Inviting any special guests?

Well, at the moment there's an issue with a child, so we've had to send for a Constable.

Too rural for trick or treating here, kids would be exhausted by the second house.

 

[MonaLittle]

It's really a non-issue where Im at because the properties are so far apart. The town usually has lots of kids but this year the decision is up to each individual household.

Im guessing the homes with kids will do it and the ones without will skip it.

 

[dolf]

So many of you live in the arsecrack of nowhere... Is it coincidental that y'all are hanging out on a porn board?

Funny, I can't recall anyone ever knocking on my door. Even when I lived in town.

Leave your porch light off.

Most of the people around here have put up their Halloween decorations. The amount of candy being bought the last time I was at the store was about on par with other years.

This leads me to suspect there will be a lot of little doctors and nurses ringing doorbells at the end of the week.
