We get a few trick or treaters around, so we *decorate* the front of the house a bit to let them know they are welcome to knock on the door.
Last year was the first year I relented and let DH take the boys around to a few of the neighbours houses. Luckily they were all very accommodating and the boys had a great time.
But another bonus of Halloween is the opportunity to do some themed crafting with the kids.
Felt bats and pumpkins, ready to go!

I used to think it was such an American thing too LOL! But now we live in a village where groups of kids get dressed up and go trick or treating. We've just been out this evening for our first Halloween - and it was SO FUN! What a great community thing to do - kids and people out on the street, it was just lovely. Hope your boys had fun this year :)

I love the community side of it too - talking to the neighbours we never see, passing people on the street and saying hello rather than just walking by without acknowledging each other. The boys has a great time (not to mention the haul of stuff they brought back!).
