The whole trick or treat phenomenon was strictly an American pastime when I was a kid. This year along with 6 other children (also in fancy dress) Maddie with me and other parents watching from a distance went out trick or treating. I guess it could be more accurately described as treating as there were no tricks involved.
Thanks to all those who handed over various sweets and treats to the kids. They had a ball. The only disappointment was that because we were out during peak trick or treating hours Maddie didn’t get to give any treats out herself!
