My trick or treat

I did have my first ever Halloween this year. In the eve of October 31, we went out with 3 kids in their Halloween costume and go trick or treating. We went door-to-door in the neighborhood, rang each doorbell and yelled “trick or treat!” to solicit a gift of candy or similar items. Along the way we met children accompanied by their parents also in different traditional costumes to disguise.
It was like a commotion that suddenly in darkness shadows keeps on running and yelling.

Carved pumpkin lit by a candle inside, one of the most prominent Halloween’s symbol, was seen in most every doorstep.

Other decorations seen in the celebration includes ghosts, witches, vampires, bats, owls, crows, haunted houses, aliens, spiders, mummies, skeletons, zombies and demons.

After our bags get felled we went home and excited to see what we got. We do have chips, candies, lollipop, small bar of chocolates and lot more.
In fairness to the tradition, it was fun. It was just like having a Christmas caroling way back then.

It must have been a very nice experience for you. So did you dress up as a ghost :-)
