What do children ask for when they go from door to door as a Halloween tradition?

Unfortunately it is another American custom that is spreading into other countries, especially here in Australia.

in Ireland kids say help the Halloween party

Player #25874027, "trick or treating" is the American custom which is spreading. Other customs don't have the threatening aspect of the "trick" just a reward for a song or a joke or a good costume.

in the US only Christmas tops it for money spent celebrating it.

Jonesy, If it goes back to the sixteenth century in Britain and Ireland it pretty much pre-dates America .

Laura, it's always been my favourite day...a lot of fun for kids & adults alike 😉
