Cate in NZ Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 A bit early I know, but with the announcement of the Pumpkin carving competition Halloween is quite clearly rapidly approaching. So a little warning to all witches out there..... Don't drink and fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I was sent a halloween pic (wasn't I Kate?) but it's too rude to post here - suffice to say that it's of a pumpkin painted on a large lady's botty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 I got sent some pumpkin pics too..... not really rude at all, well, not much, but I hesitated about posting them on the forum- just in case someone found them offensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Sorry to be a misery guts, but this trick or treating business is a pain in the proverbial. Its not even culturally British. Don't mind carved pumpkins and a few witches and warlocks. I have a mad and delightful friend who is a white witch and life wouldn't be the same without her, but drunken adolescents with dracula teeth and green hair knocking on your door at 11.45 pm (as happened to us last year) just doesn't do it for me.

The Dogmother Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I have a rule never to answer the door on halloween night - they don't enter into the spirit round here - unless you give them money, they play nasty tricks like letting your car tyres down or emptying your dustbin They don't appreciate homemade cookies or stuff like that.

Happy-Mama Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 That's awful, where I used to live the children were always polite and never came round after 9pm on Halloween. I'm hoping it's the same where I am now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Martin I'd be careful what you look at in school on their computers. Only saying this as your school probably does what ours does and moniters what you use the computers for. It's all recorded-your every move.

Guest Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Yeah, we had several sullen teenagers who left in disgust, empty handed, when I refused to get my purse out, and had the cheek to offer sweets instead last year. Cheeky...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 I've heard tales of demanding teenagers before, and now that my 2 are teens I won't let them trick or treat any more, but I do let them have a few friends round for pizzas, dvds and chocolate fountain on Halloween, although that'll have to be reviewed this year since they'll be back at school on the 31st . Generally though we only have the youngsters knocking on the door and they're always (so far at any rate) happy with sweets. Mind, that might be because I have most of the local teenagers locked up in our house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyHen Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Last year my son made a big sign to go on the front door. It said that only primary school kids could knockbut they would be welcome. On the reverse we wrote something like 'Sorry - run out of goodies - try again a little earlier next year! It worked BRILLIANTLY and we had no teenagers and noone knocking once we'd turned it round. Although, we did hear them reading the sign out loud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
