Hi, good day!☀

I am late. Looking for halloween decorations so when the girls get home from school on the 31st atleast there is something for them to see. I only decorate inside though. Mainly the dining room. I don't care for outside the house. I don't care for impressing people.

I'm the same - after my daughter got upset about how I handled her desire to get fully into Halloween last year (I don't believe in it) I've said she can decorate her room.

On the road where I live I've seen only two houses with outsides decorated already for Halloween on about 3 km of road with about 100 houses along it.

The rule of thumb is that if going trick-or-treating, only go to marked/decorated houses.

What I don't understand about it is the 'trick or treat' bit. Kids want lollies so I don't know how the 'trick' bit works.

@zonavar68 I don't even know if we're taking ours trick or treating coz you hear sick people putting things inside chocolates/lollies and kids being so unwell the next day. My decorating is for the girls. When time comes they don't appreciate it anymore that's when I'll stop.

Don't let the stories scare you and deprive your children from experiencing Halloween for themselves.

I only got to do it when I was 15... and I feel like I was robbed. I'm too old to go by myself now.

@HootyTheNightOwl it's not only stories. They are real. It's the actions of people that makes me not trust a lot anymore.

@GunFinger If you are this concerned, you can still go out and collect the candy/money but play a "game" afterwards - where whatever they get in candy is a currency that they can trade with you for a higher reward - then you can dispose of it appropriately.

I know that I've never actually heard anything via the police or the official news about anything bad happening - but Facebook blows up every year with the same old scary stories.

I’ve never decorated inside. Only outside.

Where I live, kids don’t come to houses that don’t have decorations or, at the very least, a pumpkin because it’s a sign they are not giving out candy at that house

Brussel Sprouts Dipped in Chocolate and wrapped up in Ferrero Rocher wrappers.

@Stephie I love Brussel Sprouts 😂

@KiwiBird Perhaps that you do but most kids hate it and then you trick them into believing that they will get Ferrero Rocher.

You have a mean streak 😏

@KiwiBird THAT is trick AND treat!🤣
