May your night be spectacularly spooky.
If you are trick or treating tonight, please keep the following etiquette in mind.
The lights on/off rule - If the lights are off at the front of the house, skip that house. The people are not home, have no candy left, or are not participating in the event.
Use sidewalks and pathways - Do not take shortcuts across lawns or through gardens.
Ring the doorbell or knock only once - If no one answers the door after a few minutes, move on to the next house.
Adults, keep it age-appropriate - If you want to have some friendly spooking of your own, keep in mind many young children don’t enjoy that type of fright, so save it for those old enough to appreciate a good scare.
Have a costume, get a treat - Some children appear older than they are. Even if some children are older than you think is appropriate, indulge them for one night. Leaving behind cherished childhood traditions can be difficult. If they are wearing a costume, they deserve a treat. However, if someone shows up at your door without a costume, you have the right to deny them a treat ~ or make them work for it ~
Loud Noise/Music - Please be mindful of your neighbors. Loud activities & music should be lowered to a reasonable level by 11:00 pm at the latest. It's a school night/work night, so everyone needs to get some shut-eye to recuperate for the next busy day ahead of them!
And above all else;
~ HAVE FUN! ~
