Trick or treaters

Just a thought for early Saturday morning,
I've bought what I think will be enough sweets for trick or treaters (don't tend to get too many round our area) but i just thought... With Halloween being on a Monday, what if they come tonight...tomorrow and Monday! 😱

My question is, when do you expect trick or treaters to come? When are you taking your little ones out? should I just expect it's going to be 3 nights of trick or treaters and get some more sweets just in case! And just eat the rest of the sweets If not many show? 😄

Any day but Monday, they will be told it’s not Halloween.

Don't put your pumpkin out til monday

Monday only

Strictly the 31 October only, whatever day of the week that happens to be.

If anyone does try tonight, we won’t put pumpkins/decorations out so they won’t come to our door in any case.

It will only be Monday.

I don’t think I’ve ever had visits from trick or treaters on any day but the 31st. They won’t be getting sweets until then anyway. I ran out of sweets by 7 last year so that was that.

We won't be putting a pumpkin out til Monday. Round here nobody knocks unless you've got a pumpkin or decorations out.

Someone on my local Facebook group put up a poll about this (I think she wanted to go tonight, citing the others evenings as school nights) - every single comment so far as been no, wait until Monday.

That's what I thought too, that maybe because it's on a school night they might want to take them out on the weekend instead!
