All we get is teenagers in scary masks who use it as an excuse to intimidate people in the hope of getting money!! Tried a polite note on the door before asking them not to call and that didnt work, so now I just close the curtains, turn off the lights, turn the tv down low and tape up the letter box!! |

We only get the troublemaking teens too. I have 2 young kids but I don't like anything that encourages them, or others to knock on strangers' doors. Halloween is strictly family for us and we don't answer the door at all. Our son is 6 on the day before so we shall combine the 2 events - he's having an outing to a local "creepy castle" attraction with a couple of friends during the week, then on his birthday grandparents and rellies will be round for a party tea and some pumpkin modelling. On halloween itself we'll make the house spooky and he and his sister will play hunt the halloween creepie crawlies (courtesy of an Asda cheapy halloween goody bag) and will make halloween masks to scare us with.

I shall miss it thank goodness, although no doubt there will be some little 'erks' in Lanzarote who want to carry on the tradition. Ann Glos |
