I am lucky here, I will get lots of Trick or Treaters, on the 31st, all under the age of 10, all charming and polite.
No older kids on the make, no troublemakers. If I turn the hall light off, no one will bother me.

Thanks for posting that. I'm reminded of the code within the American military, which I may be common in the rest of the US. If you want don't want to be Trick or Treated you leave your porch light off on 31 October

Very hit and miss around here. We had some very wet and bedraggled little ghouls one year, and had no sweets in because none had turned up the year before. The next year, we got a huge tin of sweets, and not a soul was out on the street.
