Serious question, I have no idea. Is there an established tradition, sequence of events, rule?
I just asked some kids, and they said they’d come later and secretly do some trick on me, but they didn’t seem too sure about it either.
This in Europe btw.
Where I’m from it’s not really trick or treat. It’s just treat. If they see a house that has any form of Halloween decoration, they’ll visit it expecting a treat. They skip houses that have no decorations with the assumption they are not participating.
That makes sense actually. I guess I got lucky to get visited by very friendly kids despite having no decorations at all. There didn’t seem to be many about anyhow.
