Hello Jay!
** On Friday 21.10.22 - 04:56, you wrote to me:
One year our immediate next door neighbours moved away and
a couple from Europe moved in (I really don't know where
from), we knocked on their door and yelled "Trick or
Treat!" and they looked so confused. We (my sister & I)
explained how it worked and they gave us something sweet
from their kitchen and we went on our way. The next year
they opened the door, yelled "We're not participating this
year!" and slammed the door in our faces.
Did you do your part with the "trick"? :D
There is an etiquette now, (or even back then). Trick or treat
homes were obvious: decorations, lights on, other kids at the
doors collecting candy, etc. If a house was dark and no signs
of halloween trick-or-treak spirit, then that house was to be
skipped.
In the country it could even be harder. But then it was who you
knew most of the time.
