Treat

It’s like Trick or Treat, but without the first bit.

The neighbours with kids in our area used the opportunity to come out from behind their tall walls, get together and meet one another.

They only went to each other’s houses, so no-one else was inconvenienced or bothered, the kids had a great hour or so, and we made some new friends.

I’m not a big fan of imported American customs, but if they’re used like this, then I’m all for them.

Bring on Thanksgiving.
