Hallowe'en

[ailbhe]

I think I'm going to make up a bunch of Trick or Treat flyers and post them through doors on this street, on about 26 October. Each house to get one each of "NO TRICK OR TREAT" or "Trick or Treat welcome" - or something. Something about right to stick in the window or on the door.

I really love Hallowe'en and trick or treating, and I hate hate hate the idea of bothering people who don't want to be bothered.

Suggestions for wording or design welcome.

I think it's an excellent idea. A foldable notice would enable people to alter their status, too - eg, turn it to 'no thank you' at bedtime.
In Morecambe we had mischief night on 4 November, tho I've never come across that anywhere else.
When my kids were little we used to bake Halloween biscuits - witches, bats, etc, dress up, knock on friends doors, make scary noises, then give them the treats - much nicer than begging - tho, of course, we'd always be given something in return.
