When to put out my Halloween sweets?

Halloween night is on Monday this year but I was wondering when people are going Trick or Treating? As I have a dog I always put my pumpkin/sweets out in the front garden. Thanks.

We’re going Monday!

On Halloween.

Sweets and tirck or treating will happen only in Monday. It doesn't switch to a weekend just because its falling on a weekday it happens as it does and always has only on the 31st.

Interested in this thread?

Monday
I bought a load of sweets today I opened them to try before I give to the kids🤣🤣
I'll be lucky if there is any left for Monday.

Monday. Why would it be any other night?

Violettaa · 28/10/2022 16:10

Tonnes of kids from DD’s school are planning on going on Sunday.

(Not us - we’re away - before anyone tells me off).

On Halloween 🎃

Monday

Halloween is one night. The 31st. If you come to my house before Monday you'll be getting bugger all. You can't change the night because you'd prefer to go at the weekend. 🎃

Pretty sure she means what time… are people that dumb on here

Why would people need ask what time to put sweets out that won't change just because this year its on a Monday and not a weekend. Kids normally go out from 4.30/5ish for the littles up to about 8/8. 30.

The day won't change what time people go out as they will start when it starts to get dark like they always do?

On Halloween

Lisagreen12 · 28/10/2022 16:16

@Beees perhaps she hasn’t done it before, could be 3pm could be 7pm

Why would you think the OP hasn't done it before when it says in the first post

As I have a dog I always put my pumpkin/sweets out in the front garden. Thanks.

Of course she's done it before her first post says she puts sweets out every year? Confused

Justme10 · 28/10/2022 16:20

Well if you live in the town near me they will be trick or treating tonight because the town decided long ago that they celebrate Halloween on the last Friday of October regardless of what day Halloween falls Confused

What kind of nonsense is that, so what do you do on actual Halloween? How random of your town to make such a decision.

Justme10 · 28/10/2022 16:24

It's not my town just a town near me!

And I have no idea what they do on the 31st to be honest. It's the way it's always been done there and nobody really knows why Grin

onedeadyukka · 28/10/2022 16:25

Have you put your sprouts ion yet?

Appologies yes not your town I can see why you wouldn't want to be associated with some nonsensical decisions.

You need to find someone and ask what they do on the 31st if its not a Friday I'm so intrigued.

Salome61 · 28/10/2022 16:27

Thank you everyone, I'll put them out Monday afternoon. Will be glad when they go, so tempted!

Monday. Hallowe'en.

Justme10 · 28/10/2022 16:28

I think they just treat it like a normal day while the rest of the world is celebrating Halloween Grin

So if Halloween is a Thursday they will trick or treat on the 25th!
The only reason I can imagine is so the kids aren't out on a week night but it's still batshit Grin

Isn't Friday still a week night Grin Or did you mean school night.
