How has it gone for you??  I bought sweets, and (once again no one came).  Maybe the 5 dogs puts them off.  One year we had two teenagers arrive and seemed a little dischuffed to be given cake.  I was told afterwards that they were probably after money.  Interestingly, they didn't try knocking at our Turkish neighbours, and I have never seen them before, or since.

I baked Cakes for the surrounding neighbours, which was well recieved and it was fun to see them celebrating with friends and family.

Same here (near KiPA) no kids to be seen, yet last few year in our old place (near MiGROS) we had every kid from the street come in for sweets.

By the way - pure coincidence about both places being near supermarkets......

We had a couple of kids that came together, they called at ours and some Turkish neighbours. Plenty of sweets left over. (Green Valley)

Did anyone have any trouble with toe-rags taking the pee?  A friend had trouble with the kids coming back repeatedly wanting more sweets and chucking stones at their car and pool.  Put me in mind of Halloween in UK.

We didn't see any kids this year (behind Genpa, Calis) and there didn't seem to as many folk visiting our Turkish neighbours across the road compared to previous years.  Got loads of sweets left...good job my step daughter is here to demolish the lot :)

LOL, I made sure that I took the sweets to the neighbour's children.  -Not in house, not in mouth, not on hips....

The kids who normally tease the dog showed up. Didn't go to our Turkish neighbours just us.

They must of forgotten about the dog.

Heard the gate, our massive dog went to check it out(shi zu) heard a scream and they were gone.

Neighbours all looked out at what had happend, laughed and said. Clever Charlie.

Same two turned up again to visit apartments not done yesterday. Seemed like two nice kids.
