Halloween traditions in your neck of the woods

<p>As a reminder that I live in the South, there was an article in the paper about whether parents are taking their kids trick or treating on Saturday or Sunday.   Apparently some folks believe that trick or treating on a church day is a no-no.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lots of churches sponsor these things called Trunk or Treat where church members go to the church parking lot and kids trick or treat from car to car.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Any interesting or weird Halloween traditions where you live?</p>

<p>D'Kid had "Trunk or Treat" this past Friday [under a Full Moon, even!!!] We started doing it at Assumption when I was on PTA 3 years ago. It's a great way for school friends from different neighborhoods and townships to go "Halloweening" together ... I think some public school families jumped in, too!!! We had music, concessions, a hayride and a contest for "Best Decorated Vehicle"</p>

<p>She's actually going out twice, since her best boy friend's township is having Trick or Treating Saturday, and ours is doing it on Sunday.</p>

<p>Things I NEVER experienced until I moved to Jersey</p>
<p> </p>
<p>a) Mischief Night - apparently we had no mischief in CT</p>
<p>b) Daytime Trick or Treating = right after school - we <em>always</em> had to wait until dark</p>
<p>D'Kid was St. Joan of Arc when she was in Kindergarten ... we got a Knight outfit with a shield & sword at the Dollar Store and added some crosses to it</p>
