Kerry, those trick or treating kids may have been started by my friend.
lmao!
a number of years ago, one of my friends held dual citizenship, for US and Austrailia.
On her first Halloween there, she invited her friends to her flat for a Halloween party. She explained the custom to them, and they all came in costume and she decorated the house, but with US decorations, as she could find none over there.
Well, she made them all go out trick or treating, and the people whos doors they knocked on had no idea what was going on!
Ava told me that when they got back, they had collected note pads, plastic fruit, cigarettes and various other things from people who had no candy around.
