Trick or Treating for Halloween!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!!

Trick or Treating for Halloween is one of the oldest traditions associated with the Halloween holiday. The term "trick or treat" means that if you give me a treat, I will go away happy, but if you don't, I will do some sort of trick on you. Some typical tricks include throwing rolls of toilet paper up into the trees in someone's yard - it creates a terrible mess, especially if it rains.

Another trick is to write with a bar of soap all over the windows of someone's house or car. And another one, related to cars, is to "pin" the horn down so that the horn blares until the owner comes back and unties it to silence it. Others include throwing kernels of corn on someone's front entry area. There are countless "tricks" that people might do - all in the name of fun, but some of them harmless while others are really not nice at all.

Nonetheless, the idea is to threaten a trick as a way of bribing some sweets from people. If you don't want the neighborhood children to come to your home, just leave the lights out and they will know not to knock on your door. If you want them to visit, however, turn on the outside lights and have a bowl of candy ready!

And if you want to take your own children out for "trick or treat", you can do it at Muncie Mall from 5:30 to 8pm. Just go to the mall and walk around and people will give candies to the children! It's a lot of fun, even if you don't wear a costume, to go and watch all the children dressed up in their costumes.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!!
