Since it's Halloween...

I came across this article about where the phrase "Trick or Treat" started... Who knew?

The origins of ‘Trick or Treat’: Lethbridge home to a piece of Halloween history | Globalnews.ca

I think it's a real shame that today's young people don't even know why we really celebrate Halloween. None of us would be here today if Jesus hadn't slain that giant pumpkin...

I started trick or "beer" in my old neighborhood.

Couldn't resist. Saw some kiddos leaving my neighbors house as I was getting home from work.

Ran over and rang the bell. When his wife answered I said "Trick or Beer". With out missing a beat, she yelled her husband's name. He came around the corner laughing with a cold brew

I repaid the favor when they brought their little one over a little later on

Some other neighbors found out about it, so the next year there was lots of fathers taking their kids around and dragging rolling coolers

I must have missed that lesson in 12 years of Catholic school and reading Peanuts.

There's a guy in my in-laws' neighborhood that grills brats and burgers and has a can vending machine in his open garage full of beer for the adults every halloween.

Well, I'd love to discuss my feelings on the whole Catholic experience, however, I think it's best we return to our original programming at this time.... :laughing:

A discussion for another forum. :thumbsup:

Man, the weather for Halloween was brutal last night. COLD! Rain, wind, wet snowflakes. My in-laws usually get 75-100 kids. They only had maybe 20-25 last night.

On the bright side.... I got a lot of Snickers bars left over. :licking:
