No Trick or Treaters at my villa Oct 31, 2006
I do not understand why we haven't had any little children come to our villa to trick or treat! Soooooooooooooo sad about it. Have it all lit up, lots of candy, and no sweet little children to give all of this to!!!

I was out all day and saw adults and children dressed up in costumes. Went to MOE shopped, got special candy for the evening, and NOTHING!

What is the deal???????????? I even live where there are lots of children and families

I've seen a few wandering around the streets in Mirdiff. But I'm kinda glad to be honest, as any knock at the door sends my dog mental, so better it's quiet. I normally put a note on the gate, saying sorry but the animals get upset.

Some people are very wary of doing it here as many people don't like it.

I always ask for the 'trick' option...then tell them the trick is to get to the end of the road, before I can load the shotgun!

Subject: Happy Halloween

A cabbie picks up a nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the very handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her. She asks him why he is staring.
He replies : "I have a question to ask you, but I don't want to offend you."

She answers, "My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive."

"Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me."

She responds, "Well, let's see what we can do about that: 1) you have to be single and 2) you must be Catholic."

The cab driver is very excited and says, " Yes, I'm single and Catholic!

"Ok" the nun says. " pull into the next alley. "

The nun fulfils the cab driver's fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. When they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.

"My dear child," said the nun, why are you crying?"

"Forgive me but I have sinned. I lied and I must confess. I'm married and I'm Jewish."

The nun says, "That's ok. My name's Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party

Dubai Girl, we didn't get any either. We left our friends' place in Springs 4 and it was full of Trick or Treating children and families who were going door to door. Maybe people had organised in their own Springs or Meadows or something?

It was started as a brilliant ploy to unload surplus production of sweets/candy :wink:

Until production surplus needs to be unloaded again: Valentine's Day!

Home invasions are getting popular. Trick or treaters are more likely to come looking for your expensive AV equipment than lollies.

Candies that were not unloaded when they should be were painted from black and orange from holloween to red and green for Christmas. And if they're still there, they just paint the green ones to red for Valentine's day
