Would you turn it away without giving it some Meow Mix?

It's important to exercise your rights.
I am fit in that area. My physique? Not so much.

Its like the saying...
You have the right to remain silent, but it doesn't mean you have the ability to do so.
When I was a kid, we really meant "Trick or Treat." If we didn't get candy, a pumpkin was going to pay with its life. My oldest brother and his friends lit lunch bags of doggie doo on people's steps and rang the doorbell, if they didn't give his crew candy, and he, being too old to go in costume (at the ripe old age of 13), would do that after 9 PM, when most everyone gave up answering the door. (Curfew was 9 by then.) Also his last year he was allowed to go out at all on October 31st.
Do you know why we have such local customs now as go out before it gets dark and porch lights? (BTW, what happens if you have no outdoor lighting, like most houses on my street?) Because adults learn from previous experience.
I never asked my grandparents if they went trick or treating. Just assumed they did. But I did ask Dad, and he did. Dad is 87 years old. That means America has had at least 80 years experience with this custom to work with. The UK has only had 30 yearsish. May they learn faster than Americans, because stomping out a fire made from doggie doo is just plain nasty! So is kicking OP's doors and knocking on their windows.
Not to be rude, but what's your point? I can't imagine they would progress the same way as if there were a system to progress through.
What people do on the holiday reflects on them alone. They have a pre-existing lack of manners and consideration for others that is exposed during Halloween, not created by Halloween.
I think her point was that UK is still figuring out how to deal with it...maybe they'll catch on to the porch light thing
I honestly had no clue about the UK's history of Trick or Treating! This whole thread has been very educational.
