Some kid at my school put in the paper all older kids, in high school, wanna do it make trouble and steal little kids cant so it should be a law that no one in high school can trick-or-treat. Boy let me tell you they have NUMEROUS people calling wanting to submit something to the editor. Because it was wrong. Some kids, sure, thats what they do. But not ALL and not even MOST kids even think of doing that. I live in a small little town where everyone knows everyone and nobody does that. So for it to become a law would just ruin everybody. People are always saying 'Be young while you can because it goes so fast'. Well, this is a perfect way to enjoy childhood while you can!

One of the reasons I love trick or treat is,not only do you get candy,you can dress up your pets! This year I dressed my little yorkie,Nigel,up like a rock star! He was soooooo cute! I dressed up my mix up like Spiderman! He was really,really,REALLY cute!

Or you can be like me and live in the middle of no where and no one shows up for candy. In 12 years I have had two kids show up, and they were driven here by the neighbors grandparents. Of coarse I did not expect anyone, so I did not have candy to give, so I just gave them each a buck. They were pretty happy, so I did think they would come back the next year. But didn't happen. Oh well.

Trick or treating in december ? Who are you going to dress up as, Santa Claus ?
If you are a dog and your owner suggests that you wear a sweater, suggest that he wear a tail.

Good luck with that monkey, lol!

I went with my two girls (2 & 5) and I was even dressed up like Dolly Parton with a bag. (Big afro white wig on with a red polka dot dress and bright red lipstick and loop earrings) You should have seen the people that looked at me like I was nuts and would not give me any candy. I eventually left the bag in the stroller. It is not like we live in a large town either, 200 people MAX, everyone knows everyone. I would not have a problem giving candy to older kids as long as they are dressed up and make the effort. Now kids with no costume and just a bag, no way!

OMG, we were bombarded this year. The giant bag of mixed candy was gone by 8! I was serching the whole house for something to give away. I don't mind the older kids at all, but I did notice not one kid over 10 bothered to say thankyou. The little guys were all very sweet. I was lazy this year and didn't bother to dress up myself or the dogs. I do have pink hair this month, but I didn't do it for Halloween, LOL.

I think in todays world its inevitable that older children will be out trick and treating, its just not safer for the younger ones anymore. My kids are aged 10 and 11 and I certainly wouldn't let them out on their own at night tricking and treating. Its not so wildly celebrated in this part of the world, but I think its a great tradition and love to see all the kids dressed up.

My most polite trick-or-treaters was actually a group of teenaged boys. I had big groups of smaller children who rudely grabbed handfulls out of my bowl and didn't even say thank you. Then I had these 3 older boys who politely took one candybar each until I insisted they take at least 3. And then after they took the candy, they all thanked me. I was looking forward to Halloween in my new neighborhood because I love the costumes and I love to hand out the candy. I thought we'd have a ton because the houses are close together and it's a quiet street. I was hugely disappointed at the number of my neighbors who had their lights off and the fact that we got so few kids because of it.

You know what I hate? Is when the parents drive door to door, with the kids hopping in between each house. So, you want me to give your kid candy, but none of your lazy butts can WALK to my door? No thanks! With the way this world is, I'd be sued for making their kid fat.

But, no kids came to my door this year. Good thing, cuz I didn't buy candy, so they'd have gotten a granola bar.

Since I was 14 years old I have been 6'1", so people have always thought I was older than I was.

I remember a few houses that denied my friends and I candy just because of that reason. We were even all dressed up. That was the last year I went out. (I've been traumatized! :P)

I do not care how old someone is, so long as they put some effort into their costume then they will get candy.

I have a t-shirt gun from a hockey game (do not ask how I got it). When the teens come I tell them to go in the street and fire candy out of it in the air and watch them scramble...they love it!!!

Even if they do not come with a costume. Holloween is about fun. I even had an offer this year for the gun...500.00 bucks. But that would be selling stol... I mean tacticaly aquired property.
