Thread: what's with the trunk or treat??!!?

Tweet

I have seen quite a few churches advertising trunk or treat, for halloween, I hate it, I already don't get many kids, and if the ones I have go there, it'll be awful!! One street I saw 2 churches a block apart advertising trunk or treat, if I was a kid there, I'd walk hit both of them, plus the neighborhoods near them, make out like crazy! Churches or malls like that are taking away a great part of childhood memories, TOTing, in the dark, the smell of autumn with the leaves, the whole experience. Things are too PC now , or something. I think it is a shame!!

My kid's preschool did it for them during the day at school. It was fun for them but of course we would go TOT at night too! I agree, I would do both and hit the houses in between . I think some people look at trunk or treating as "safer" than going door to door...it must be sad being them.

What is trunk or treat?

Trunk or Treat is basically (I think, heard from friend.) where you can decorate
your car (trunk.) or basically just park and give out candy.

B O R I N G boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ug i can't stand it either. a friend and i were just discussing this the other day.

Yeah, basically a bunch of OTT church worshipers all get together and park their station wagons in a church or school carpark, open up their trunks and possibly hang a small paper ghost from it, however the ghost must be smiling otherwise that person will be kicked out of the Trunk or Treat and future church meetings for worshipping Satan.

Also any small paper ghosts that obscure the view of the "I <3 Jesus" bumper sticker is also strictly frowned upon.

The church goer's then stand around and say things like "come here lil' ones. they ain't gon' bite'cha" as the kids horribly dressed as such things as Moses and Abraham stick their hand into a basket and receive such Halloween delights as carrot sticks and fruit cups. If they're extra lucky they may get a small bible.

This is all because god forbid the kids go regular trick or treating a psychopath child rapist will occupy every house and they will never be seen again. That and the devil...he's out there on halloween night too.

Think i pretty much summed it up there right?

Maybe if they think the kid's a real sinner, they'll just stuff the kid in the trunk and drive off.... I won't let my kids go anywhere near them!

Wow, I have never heard of that. I hope people at least decorate their cars for the kids. That is so boring to go to a bunch of trunks.

Ugh, that sounds utterly boring! I have not heard of anyithing like that around here........but then again I might just be blissfully ignorant!

"What is trunk or treat?"

It's the knee-jerk reaction of simple-minded sheep, to a threat that isn't there.


You could have your kids trick or treat in the traditional way, or you can teach them to be greedy, lazy, and afraid of everyone.
