Holidays - October 2006

When I was a kid in Scotland, we went round people's houses at Halloween, but it wasn't called Trick or Treat, it was called geising. (Not sure of the spelling - can you enlighten me?). We didn't just stand in costume demanding sweets, we actually *earned* our sweets by doing a wee performance.

Did anyone else do this? Do kids still do this sometimes or is it only "trick or treat"? Is it exclusive to Scotland? Cos when Lorain Kerry told Janet Street-Porter about it this morning, JSP knew nothing about it.

Well, October 31st is here. Day of the devil! Speaking of devil. I was wondering if any one has did anything naughty while wearing there costume? For example, beating up the neighbors kid, your buddy, a stranger, Vito while in your costume, make a little love behind the bushes in your costume, or digging the nuggets out of your crotch while trick or treating??? Have fun with this question guys and gals!

I'm not dressing up and I'm not counting on many trick or treaters, any suggestions for a scary movie I can watch (new or old) to get in the Halloween mood?

Yes, its only one day a year but do you really want to keep getting reminded "remember when you were _______ man you looked like a sl ut" and see all the pictures...then you have to keep reminding people "it was halloween"
