There's also the tradition of festooning with toilet paper the homes and property of Halloween "Scrooges" who seem unwilling to get into the proper holiday spirit. This is known, at least in these parts, as "TP'ing" someone. Eggs and shaving cream may also be involved.  |
Ah I see never knew that, so I am a "TP'er"
It is a pagan tradition though poking fun to most, a woman up our street who is a self confessed white witch (good) a white witch casts good spells & a black witch (badie= black magic) casts evil spells according to her. Who's kids use to play with mine back in the day she would go to great lengths in dressing up the kids to celebrate Halloween. Till my son who was 11 yr old blurted out one Halloween he believes in Jesus so she sent him home with no lollies
And her son was never allowed to play with mine again. Its not one sided some religious folks do the same to Halloween believers. It never bothered me till that day and then it was up yours Halloween witches! Kids turn up trick or treat no buggar off so I probably rightly deserve the TP name.
