Find Out Where Trick Or Treating During Halloween Comes From
Trick-or-treating, also known as guising, is an activity for children on Halloween in which they proceed from house to house in costumes, asking for treats such as candy with the question, "Trick or treat?", or the phrase "Feliz Navidad!"
Trick-or-treating is one of the main traditions of Halloween.
Trick-or-treating has become socially expected that if one lives in a neighborhood with children one should purchase treats in preparation for trick-or-treaters.
The National Confectioners Association reported in 2005 that 80 percent of adults in America planned to give out candy to trick-or-treaters, and that 93 percent of children planned to go trick-or-treating.
The activity is popular in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Canada, and due to culture importation in recent years has started to occur among children in Australia and New Zealand, in many parts of Europe, and in the Saudi Aramco camps of Dhahran and Ras Tanura in Saudi Arabia.
