Oh... it's Halloween night. Did you know that Halloween as it exists has religious and Irish roots? I do as well. LOL No one came to my door, I wasn't home for the early part. I heard some bustling in the hallway and took stock of what I could give a trick-or-treater, and came up with: apple juice drinking boxes. I have some of those yummy 2 bite brownies but of course you can't give kids unwrapped stuff in this day & age. (Ah, the days of getting the candy apples. Sticky things that I never ate.) I had no little ones knocking on the door, so all the drinking boxes are still on my counter. I did see the little people trooping up and down the sidewalk in Oakville, and some here in Mississauga as I pulled in to go home. Apparently where my sister lives, east end of TO, there are no trick-or-treaters. I think it's just the makeup of the neighborhood; people who simply don't celebrate it. I don't know if kids actually go door-to-door in this building; no notice about a communal shelling-out in the lobby like I have seen in other buildings, so ???. I guess kids go to people they know only. Ha ha. Back home where the parents live, in "inbreeding country," as it is sometimes termed, out-in-the-country kids will get a car ride in to the town, and get driven around in the car to trick or treat; not in their neighborhood. Of course we live in the old part and get heavy extra rural traffic, and the newer subdivisions, the country folk are not aware of yet, have leftover candy. Opportunists.
