Me three! Leave it alone!
Am going to give a different perspective on neighborhood trick or treating though. For those of us who live in the boonie-goonies the kids can't go door to door. Houses are 1/4 to 1/2 mile apart. Their little legs would fall off before they got any candy. My neighbors' kids are all grown now, but they used to either load them in the car and take them to a nearby town or to something likr slumberkitty described.
While I believe we ought to leave celebrating the holiday on the actual holiday, I don't know if I had kids if I'd let them go door to door. The world and society have changed in the decades since I was of an age to trick or treat. I think taking them to something like trunk or treat would be safer. That's sad.
