Halloween Trick-or-Treating: Dos and Don'ts with Mr. Manners

Essential Trick-or-Treating Etiquette

• 🍬 Only take one candy per house unless explicitly told otherwise, avoiding greed and ensuring enough for other children.
• 💡 If you dislike the candy offered, politely say "thank you" and do not express your preference.

When to Approach and When to Skip

• 🏠 Look for signs of participation such as Halloween music, decorations, and fully lit houses.
• ⚠️ If a house's lights are off, it's a signal to skip that home.

Timing and Respectful Approach

• ⏰ Trick-or-treating should generally conclude around 9:00 PM.
• 🚶‍♀️ Stay on paths and driveways when approaching a home, avoiding damage to landscaping.
• 🚪 Knock respectfully on the door; one or two knocks are sufficient, avoiding excessive banging.
