    Poll included.


    Personally, I went through a phase of not opening the door to them for a good few years :pac: But over the last 2 years I open :) ... got monkey nuts ready.


    So what about you?

    We have treats ready to give out, but haven't had a single trick-or-treater yet. Maybe this is a Northern Irish thing, but I seem to recall kids would do Hallowe'en singing on the lead-up to the night as well?

    Monkey nut houses were such a disappointment!!

    Ill be going to my parents and giving out sweets to little kids. I live near a pretty rough area so theres no hope of me staying here that night! Last year there was bangers going off, fireworks, kids ringing the buzzer and running away....

    Plus Im 3 floors up and theres no way Im taking them stairs every time someone rings the buzzer

    Yep…went out he other day and bought a load of stuff - packs of sweets, jellies, lollies, flumps (oh yeah), crisps, apples, oranges and some nuts :D

    Got some sandwich bags and filled them all up yesterday and have the bags of treats all ready for them!

    (I do hate Halloween mind you)

    Opening doors and bringing them in. And I may even let some of them leave.

    We have sweets in for them, but we've been getting fewer and fewer trick or treaters over the last few years :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭Princess Peach


    I'm going over to my friends house to eat the sweets her children collect.

    It's bad for them :pac:

    Too afraid of the tricks not to give out the good stuff.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    Yes. I'm up all night sticking razors into my Pink Ladies.

    I hope someone robs your bowl. And your sign.

    I'm gonna open the door and throw monkey nuts at their face.

    Kids, my arse.

    It's a well known fact that only 10% of Trick or Treat'ers are kids.

    The rest are all midgets in masks that wait for this one night to horde up on nuts and other goodies for the year


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,435 ✭✭✭areyawell


    I usually put a fishing line about 30 cm off the ground across my gate. i then look out my windows when any of the little beggers come and they fall flat on there face. serves em right. respect my authority!

    Yup! But only until 8pm then am ignoring them while I cringe watching my son on tv for an hour before going to my mates house to get drunk.

    Are you opening the door?"

    only for the sexy kids... sorry its all this Jimmy Saville news.


    Seriously If you give them nice sweets your house gets marked & you will be harrassed all night, the litte bastards will swap halloween costumes and come back repeat times all for the sweets, Give the little ****s nuts to secure a kid free night.
