halloween stuff

In Scotland we have a long tradition of doing a 'turn' when out guising at Halloween. None of this extorting goodies through menace - you have to work for it here. This may be a joke, some poetry, a song, or even a bit of a dance. The creative little person may even make something up especially for the occasion. Example: from 4 year old (dressed as a bush) - Q: Why did the vampire cross the road? A: To get to the VERY scary art gallery on the other side! Mmmm....

Here here!!!! All this trick or treat stuff brings out my grumpy ol woman!! My Dad lectures small children on his doorstep about the rudeness of extorting sweeties and "this is not America" etc. Well he did... not too many little vampires come to their house these day ha ha!
