neuro: We have the red-light
traffic
cameras here in northern Virginia, too. Haven't gotten
caught by one yet :)
aaronl: When I used to trick-or-treat, what
determined us going to houses or not was if they had some
sort of halloween-looking stuff out in front - pumpkin,
ghosts, cobwebs, whatever. We generally knew who did not
celebrate halloween and did not 'threaten' people to give us
candy. Certainly things may be different where you are, but
there's more to halloween than a bunch of kids going around
demanding candy... it's fun to just let loose, use your
imagination, and relax every now and then. If you don't
want people coming to your door, make it plain to the
parents of said children that you do not celebrate halloween
and wish to be left alone...or put a sign on your door
saying 'No candy, go elsewhere' or whatnot. If you're in
any kind of a decent neighborhood, they should respect your
wishes.
