trick or treat memory

[smithjcsdfw]

Do you have any trick or treat memories you would like to share?   The one that sticks in my mind was the first trick or treat with my daughter when she was three years old.  She was all decked out as a princess with glitter in her hair and a crown.  The night started out fine with her tugging me along as we toured the neighborhood.  Than a cold front hit and dropped the temps about 30 degrees.  I suggested calling it a night and returning home.  My daughter would have nothing to do with that idea.  So we continued trick or treating but with a different plan of attack as we moved from house to house she would climb up into my arms and snuggle her way inside my coat to keep warm.  By the time we got back to the house I was covered in more glitter than she was.

I was never into candy so I never really got excited about Halloween as a kid.  I would end up going trick or treating with friends but it wasn't really fun and I would just give my candy away.

My son was 2 yrs old and my brother and I took the kids out. At this one house it was decorated real nice. I started toward the front door and this guy in scary suit jumped out and I grabbed my kid and just started hollering and running. Everybody was laughing it was so funny. I never expected that.

I don't remember how old I was but I was out with my dad and a friend. We were coming up on this one house and there were 3 dummies sitting in chairs all dressed up. Well I knew, I just knew, that something wasn't right about them and I didn't want to go. My dad, probably knowing this too, kind of forced me to go up there and sure enough it was 3 guys dressed up and scared the you know what out of me.

I have no memories of trick or treating.  I don't think I ever went.  My parents and older brother may have taken me but I don't remember.  I know I didn't go when I was a little older like 8 or 9.  My parents were a little over protective and they would have never let me go around the neighborhood like that hell I couldn't leave my yard when I was a kid let alone go trick or treating.

Mine when I took the kids out for treating...and I got hit with an egg thrown at me from a passing car.  It was dark and I was not targeted just unlucky.

I remember trick or treating in my grandparents neighborhood when I was a kid. Good memories.

My memory is of my Dad taking my sister and I trick or treating we would literally fill up paper grocery store bags, come home and dump them out on the living room floor and actually go out again.  We'd go until we fell asleep and then he'd bring us home and call it a night lol.

I've never been trick or treating. It's never seemed like fun and I lived in the woods. We would have had to drive everywhere if we went trick or treating.

we have a mill hill that you used to could go up and down all the alphabet streets..parents would just meet you in the middle and let you empty candy in a bag and you would keep going...now it is more of a drug place..very sad..lots of good memories there..would have loved for my granddaughters to do that..they would have loved it

Don't remember going out as a kid until around the 6th grade.  Then it was more a social thing than candy.  My kids however, went every year and their dad was always in the Halloween spirit.

I remember when I was a kid, I went trick or treating with my brother and a cousin.  We didn't have doorbells at home so that was so much fun when we could go and ring someone's doorbell.  We took turns doing this and when we came to a house that didn't have one, we were kind of disappointed.  I also remember some years it was so hot that we were sweating under our masks.  But we always had a lot of fun and came home with lots of candy.  Those were the good old days when life was simpler.

I remember my very first time trick-or-treating. It was when I was in middle school i think (older than most trick-or-treaters) when my cousins decided to skip on going to the library to go to Party City and all of the other huge stores to get candy.

One of my neighbors down my street used to set up a haunted house out of sheets. It was always a hit with the kids.

We lived on a closed in street of only 18 homes so we knew everyone and all of us kids would get together and go to each of the houses at the same time without our parents. Then we would be taken with an older sibling of one of us or even one of the ones that was in college to the neighborhood next to us. Not all of the houses had kids because they had grown up. But then the grand kids started coming. But with my girls we used to take them to a friends neighborhood because there is only like 4 houses in ours that does it. this year we did something different. One of my 18 year olds friends said her church was doing a trunk or treat and it was open to all ages so we took them, but because there was so many there and they had only been open 15 minutes, we dropped them off and said we would come back for them an about an hour. The 11year old said she loved it a lot better because each trunk had a different theme.
