Unfortunately Lane Cove is 60% apartment housing so all the kids from the apartments go to streets like ours. They've been pretty good in past years, only going to houses who put decorations up. Hopefully that will still be the same tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackduck59 Posted October 31, 2021 #4 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Of course it is still the 30th here so ours is tomorrow. That being said I'm sure there are plenty of people out getting stupid drunk tonight and suspect to hear fireworks tonight and tomorrow night. We live up a long dark driveway and I don't think we have had anyone at the door since our great niece and nephew about 10 years ago. We do have some treat in the unlikely event anyone comes. Like I said a cute little "holiday" for kids has been hijacked by the adults and like everything it has gotten out of hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halloween's origins go back to a Celtic festival called Sanhain Les. Their new year started on Nov 1st so Oct 31st was the last day of the year and marked the end of summer and the beginning od winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have always had it here in my lifetime. It just seemed more innocent then and definitely more geared to children. Unfortunately many of those children grew up and forgot it was supposed to be about kids. The competition was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just had two families walk past with the parents more dressed up than the kids. Our neighbour and her two children called in, kids were dressed up but not mum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lyndarra Posted November 1, 2021 #10 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Pretty quite where I am. Haven't had any little ghouls or monsters turn up here for about five years when we had some chocky gifts and nobody showed up. There's no young kids in our street anymore, they've all grown up.
