The little ones always seem to have made an effort with their costumes and always have their mums or dads halfway down the drive. However when my daughter is older (she's nearly 17 months at the mo)I hope that there'll be some kind of local party that she can go to instead. I don't see this conflicting with religion though. As far as I know the night itself is an ancient 'festival', but the trick or treat element came from the USA and I first heard about it when I read Charlie Brown and Snoopy books!
