Tip #1: Create “Trick or Treat” Stations in Your Neighborhood
小贴士1:开创邻里间“不给糖果就捣乱”的小站

Instead of traipsing your kids all over the neighborhood on a cold, dark night gather a group of families together to offer creative alternatives to the regular “trick or treating” that you’ve always done.  Each “station” can offer something different - one house can be a Halloween craft station, another can offer cider  and donuts, the next can have a piñata, and the next a mini treasure hunt in the dark.Families can still offer “goodies” to each child that comes to the stations, but this will streamline  the entire trick-or-treat process and could turn into a new neighborhood tradition.
与其带着你的孩子在寒风中穿梭于邻里间，还不如在晚上邀请几个家庭一起提供不同的选择来取代以往穿街走巷的“不给糖果就捣乱”。每家能提供一些不同的玩意—一家可以是万圣节手工艺站，另一家可以提供苹果汁和油炸圈饼，下面一家可以是蛋糕，再下面一家可以是在深夜中的小的寻宝点。各家各户仍然可以提供“美味的甜食”给小孩子吸引他们来站点，相当于将整个“糖果还是捣乱”的过程流水线化，还可以成为邻里间的新传统。
