When I was a child, our tradition for Trick or Treat was for my father to take my sisters and I door to door, while my mother would give out soda pop. Then would come home to hot cocoa, and chipped bbq ham sandwiches.
My parents always let us stay home from school the following day and we would do the exchanges and keep our treat bags under our beds. They never took the bags off us and made us just pick one piece a day. They figured the faster it was gone the better.
We kept all those simple traditions going on with our families- same treat for the kids and same after snack, except we dont give out at our own homes, we all meet up at one and give out everything there, so 4-5 treats for one stop. The kids around here love it .
