Halloween

[seiko1]

Jase you better send the boy's round......
if one more kid rings that bloody doorbell for that non aussie occasion............

What is it with Adelaide??????????

[aardvark]

They know better than to knock on my door. I seriously don't get it... I mean, get your kids to knock on some strangers door, then get them to eat food said stranger has given them???? Not a "tradition" my kids will be participating in.

Sux Donkey balls, we have a note on the door..... Piss Orfff cause our kids are in bed that is true anyway.
I second that Ardy.... its a bit dodgey

My daughter has a huge halloween party at our house every year for the last 4 years. Everyone dresses up and gets into it, it's awesome....but there's absolutely no chance she'd ever be out trick or treating.

May not be an aussie tradition but one we are taking up in big numbers. If you know your neighbours than for the kids it is a bit of fun. It might also be a way to meet some of your neighbours.
I can remember doing it nearly 30 years ago with the local kids, hell we went knocking on very door, spent about 3 hours nagging the locals. Why wouldn't we, we got given cash along with lollies and chocolates, every kids dream.

Each to their own as they say, had it not been raining in Sydney we would have participated with a few local kids. My 4 year old son was rather keen on seeing some kids dressed up. Next year.

Fuck em. I don't want our bogan neighbours to get the impression that if they send their kids around to knock on my door I'll give the little mongrels free shit.
They did get a free geography lesson though.

Depends on who and what the costume was!

Don't like the idea. Next thing you know aussies will be celebrating thanksgiving and fourth of july or whatever the hell it is .
Thankfully there aren't many kids running around in my little out of town area.

Yep, I can't stand the Yank invasion of Australia.

But I didn't want to be rude yesterday when the kids came knocking, so I just gave them a big glass of Red Cordial and a hand full of Red Snakes and sent them home to their parents

We've lived in the US and where we were (Texas & Georgia) if you wanted the trick or treaters you left the porch light on.

Sounds like a trap to me, like those guys that write "FREE CANDY" on the sides of panel vans.

Too late, you must be too young to remember cracker night, thanksgiving for us is Christmas (also has lost the religious significance) we just celebrate it at a different time.

We already have adopted half of what they have in America - our top sitcoms come from America, 90% of the fast food chains are American, we have copied most of what they have done. Why well between them and the UK (who we used to follow) are the only two nations with a population greater than ours that has English as their primary language (South Africa doesn't count)

So who are we going to be influenced by. SBS has tried for decades to get us to watch alternative language programs. In short if you don't like the reality of becoming the 52nd state of America, too late.
