Reader Poll: Trunk-or-Treat vs. Door-to-Door
All right, dear readers, it’s time to approach the podium and let your voice be heard in the most important debate of the season. No, I’m not talking politics! I’m talking about the heated debate regarding traditional door-to-door trick-or-treating versus the growing trend of trunk-or-treating in which families gather tailgate-style in a parking lot and hand out candy one quick trunk at a time.
In my experience, people are passionate about their particular views on this one and there isn’t much middle ground. You either belong to the camp who believes that children should work hard for their candy on Halloween, walking miles upon miles (preferably uphill); or else you’ve joined Team Trunk, ushering in a new era in which families enjoy the trifecta of Halloween fun—candy, friends, and decorations—all in one easy location.
So, where do you stand on the issue? I want to hear what you think. Step up to the microphone (by way of the comments section) and give your opinion! Tell us what you think and why.
Let the debate begin!
Trunk or treat
As a child I remember going through the neighborhood block, by block…It was hard work for a plastic pumpkin full of candy.
Today, we take the kids trunk-or-treating (and to Dad’s office). They come home with such a haul, it usually lasts all year.
We love trunk-or-treating. It is convenient, safe and warm on those particularly cold Utah Halloween nights. But, it certainly speaks to how things have changed…I imagine we worked off quite a few of the calories ingested with all of our walking 🙂
I have so many fun memories of trick or treating as a kid, so that definitely gets my vote.
trunk-or-treating is for sissies! back in my day, we had to work hard for our candy, walking uphill in the snow both ways. we did the trunk-or-treat thing once and it was mass chaos, with swarms of ungrateful kids pushing their way to get a piece of candy. We decided not to do that again. When kids have to go door to door for their candy, they appreciate it so much more. The problem is, in neighborhoods where trunk-or-treat is the norm, nobody is home for trick-or-treating purists. my vote…have a halloween party on a day other than halloween, and save halloween for trick-or-treating.

Here at World Spinner we are debating the same thing……
Sorry to be rude, but trunk-or-treat is sissy.
