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>I think once you put on a costume in irony, you're too old.</p>

<p>We rarely get t-or-t'rs at our house because we have a gabillion steps leading up to our front door.</p>

<p>The first year Miss Sunshine trick or treated, she was 2.5 or something.  She was so exicted to get candy that after 3 houses, she wanted to rush home and eat it.  That was easy.  When Easy went for the first time, he was unclear on the concept, and whenever someone gave him a piece of candy, he would take a piece out of his bag to trade it with.</p>

<p>Our zoo has an awesome halloween event.  We went last night.  There are trick or treat stations, a haunted hayride, a "scarousel," a monster mash dance tent, carnival games, a maze, monster lab, "scareoke," and animal demonstrations with halloween themed animals: an owl, a buzzard, a python, scorpion, a lynx.  It is always so much fun.</p>

<p>Our kids are generally limited to one piece of candy a day, so we put all the candy in a jar and dole it our over the next sveral weeks or months.</p>

<p>A friend has a "halloween witch" that visits her house after the kids fall alseep and takes all the candy, but leaves a cool toy instead.</p>
<p>RANH - I suppose dressing as your favorite saint could actually pretty grim if you depicted some at their moment of martyrdom. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;" title=""></p>
<p>We got a decent number of trick or treaters last night, which I wasn't expecting.  Most of them were teens, though, so I expect they are going out twice.  One pair of trick or treaters was a older teenaged girl and and a young woman who looked about 8 months pregnant.  No kids with them, other than the one in the belly.</p>
