Should I expect any Trick or Treaters this year?

[QuimReaper]

Is anyone planning on it?

Sorry - should say I'm in London, I know it will be different in different parts of the country.

I'm just outside of London but a lot of people on my street said they won't answer the door and will just leave the sweets outside. I will probably take my little girl around to do that too. I wouldn't have a problem answering the door but that's just me personally.

Not in the UK but no we won't be doing trick or treating. I have 3dc who love Halloween and we go trick or treating every year and also get some kids knocking on our door. Just going to watch a scarey movie, play games and eat lots of sweets at home.

Not taking DS as he's 8 going on 13 and totally over it but I'll be buying some bits just in case.

Kylie in my part of London I wouldn't trust a tub of sweets outside the house to be there after ten minutes!

We are in the N in a Tier 2 area but likely to be away (fingers crossed).
If we were home I, personally, would be happy to answer the door and get children to select sweets from a tray (less touching) rather than a bucket.

But I don't think DH would like that and the local word is people are taking children round to look at decorations not ask for sweets. I'm not sure my DCs would really be interested in that option!

@QuimReaper same here, I trust the little ones but not the teenagers

I won't be taking my DCs out knocking on doors, but I expect we'll have a few knock on our door so have got some sweets in just in case. Our village is decorating windows for the kids to go around and look at with the idea you give them a sweet youself for each display they spot. No doubt some will have missed this arrangement and will see the window as an invitation to knock as usual.

Not this year and not decorating either.

I normally get in a big tub of celebrations, but do people think things like mini bags of Haribo would go down better this year, as they're hermetically sealed and can be contactlessly (?) decanted into a bowl? Or does that logic go for individually wrapped sweets too?

While I dont think trick or treating is a good idea, I am still going to be ready for some with packets of haribo and my spaghetti tongs for decanting them into bags.

I would really suggest putting the sweets out on a tray. Lots of sticky fingers on a plastic bag when they are choosing one from a dip bucket is not a good idea. On a tray they don't have to touch anyone else's bag. You know they are going to open them straight away, they aren't going to wipe their bags.
