So as a Scot living in VA, I need some advice on what to do this Halloween - regarding the trick-or-treaters that are bound to come knocking on my door! My problem is that I have a 3.9 ds and 9mth dd, and I really don't want the doorbell ringing all evening as they'll both be tucked up in bed, hopefully sound asleep.
Is it incredibly rude to avoid the neighbourhood kids? I don't know a single one of my neighbours, so are they likely to come round anyway? I have no decorations outside at my front door, and was wondering if this signifies my lack of involvement in the holiday, so maybe my house would be ignored?
I was thinking of putting a nice notice up on my front door asking the kids not to disturb us, and leaving a big bowl of candy out for them to help themselves - would this be acceptable?
Help! I'm dreading it!
