No, never. Each to their own but for me I don’t feel right celebrating a
night of evil.
The other thing is that I get it’s a big celebration thingy in the US but over
here in the UK, it’s an absolute nuisance. It’s a day and night of nuisance, wanton
vandalism, little kids going around knocking on strangers doors begging and holding
people to ranson if they don’t get anything. Will not quite a ransom but being a
nuisance.
Its dangerous as well for young kids to go around on their own knocking on strangers
doors. The little kids usually start early evening, but by late evening it’s often the
case that gangs of older kids, teens start roaming around which can be very intimidating.
Up the road from us is a police station and on Halloween, you see the
police cars zooming up and down all night, far more than usual.
Its also really bad for people like my elderly aunt, she’s been in hospital since the end
of August and is hopefully coming out on Thurs next week. At the moment she’s very
confused due to hosp delirium. But she’s gonna have to go through the ritual of a non
stop stream of gangs of kids knocking on the food scaring the living daylights out
of her.
Something people never stop and consider, how intimidating gangs of kids can be
knocking at your door all evening, to an elderly person.
Ive tried everything from tying up the garden gate (they just climb over), to putting up
polite signs (which just get pulled down) it’s no use. Soooo as you can see I’m really
against it and hate it.
Its a little worse over in to Uk as on 5.11.17 we have bonfire more with fires, fireworks etc.
But on 4.11.17 we have an evening called mischievous night, where people supposedly
cause mild mischief like knocking on doors and running away. Only some use it as an
excuse for mindless criminal activities. Over the years Halloween and mischievous
night have overlapped.
