Did you send him a letter Terry?….if so spill the beans :D
Just been to see the latest Bond movie Skyfall. I absolutely loved it!! have to say I went under protest… hubby wanted to see it and Im not usually a Bond fan….. but it was so good… Daniel Craig was wonderful Ive decided Roger Moore can move over… Daniel is my favourite now :D
The phrase “trick or treat” may be relatively new but when I was a child (yes I can remember that far back – just!) we used to get dressed up and go around the neighbours wishing them a happy halloween…one of our neighbours always had a large bowl (I think it was an old baby’s bath bowl) of cold water with apples and onions, we’d have to close our eyes and see which we managed to get. Another neighbour used to make her own toffee apples then hang them at different lengths from the washing line, we had to try to eat a whole apple with our hands behind our backs. Other neighbours would just have bowls of sweets for us to dip into. A bit different to today’s trick or treat but celebrating Halloween was here before the American influence.
We didn’t do trick or treat when I was little…. but I took my kids round to friends to do it. They loved getting dressed up and pretending to scare people…. it was just good fun, we never gave any thought to the origins of it. Where I live now we don’t have kids trick or treating … maybe when I have a grandchild I will re start the tradition with him/her and scare a few folks :shock: ….. cant wait :D
