Because of religious reasons, we don't trick-or-treat, but we do hand out the candy to the kids who come to our house. We get over 100 kids usually! We all like handing out the candy, and we take turns doing that.

Tonight is the night for trick-or treating here, and we hope everyone has a great time and gets lots of candy!!!

What are those religious reasons? I can't trick-or-treat because my town(quasi-city?) made a law that every person 13 years old and older can't trick-or-treat, but never because of religious reasons. However, that would explain why my mom never celebrated Halloween with my dad, sister, and me. I probably should ask her about that.

Ivy,

It is a Divine (i.e. from God) Jewish law that we not dress up in any costumes, masks, etc., to disguise our appearance. The sole exception to this is made for the holiday of Purim!
