I know its a tradition in the United States, but that doesn't mean that your opinions should always be for it... or should it? But thats another thread.

In Australia, Halloween to me should be as celebrated as thanksgiving (that means not at all). Luckily my dog barks like mad whenever someone knocks on the door, that way they just walk off instead of hanging around for 3 minutes waiting for someone to answer the door. Its not an Australian tradition for one. I think its pretty anoyying that kids come knocking on doors expecting people to give them lollies and candy in their lame costumes. If you had to do this, even at the age of 18, would it kill you to think of something more original than a zombie nurse? To me its a day plagued with cliche's and anoyying little children walking around with their fat-ass parents who probably take a cut of their profits. So few people do it here which makes the ones that do seem all the more awkward. Even though the majority of people on the forum are from the United States, my question is still directed toward them also. Do you open the doors to trick or treaters? Do you give them expired candy? Have you suffered an 'egging' because you didnt give candy? Do you have anything relevant to say in reguards to the topic?
