Agreed! If you're the parent of a teen, would you rather have them trick or treating for candy, or off driving around in cars getting drunk? Who is it hurting to let teenagers dress up in costumes and ask their neighbors for candy?? 🎃🍬👻
🎃 I say let teenagers trick-or-treat for as long as they like. You don't stop liking candy at a certain age, plus it's a much better activity than some other stuff they could be doing instead. 🍫I give candy on Halloween to anybody who comes to the house. 🧟Also, many kids can't afford costumes so I don't care if they're dressed up or not either.🏚️ I think of Halloween as a nice community activity (it's only ONE day a year) & everyone has the choice whether to be involved or not.
