Someone happened to come to the door while I was standing there and I apologized and the mom said that hardly anyone in our neighborhood does it. I noticed a few houses lit up and decorated. I also know a few people who say they don't support the "begging holiday!" Our church would do something called Holy Night and the kids would go dressed as bibilical people and get treats, games and fun. I like that much better than the door to door stuff of Halloween. It'll be okay, hon, try not to be too upset.Petulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246335892746223347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886644560752341745.post-17214363918687792122008-11-03T14:47:00.000+00:002008-11-03T14:47:00.000+00:00That's so sad for the kids.

However, it is celebrated in selected areas and people usually make announcements and stuff so people who wants to join can sign up.nanayginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13718925705563313495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886644560752341745.post-24090088861483170652008-11-01T14:39:00.000+00:002008-11-01T14:39:00.000+00:00I can understand that you're disappointed, on the ...I can understand that you're disappointed, on the other hand... it's still quite a lot.<BR/><BR/>Maybe you can make a leaflet next year, writing down the custom of the area and asking them to be prepared.<BR/><BR/>We don't celebrate halloween here, but one of the women wanted to send her kids out to trick and treat.
