How old is too old to go trick-or-treating on Halloween?
I don't necessarily agree with a specific age limit for trick or treating. Most people don't realize, recognize, or possibly don't understand that Special Needs kids enjoy the holiday as well. They don't always comprehend there are supposed limits on these types of activities. We can try to explain it to them, of course, but they either don't understand or they are hurt to be excluded. Sometimes, it is not easy to clearly identify a Special Needs person strictly by appearance. They don't all “look different”. I have 2 autistic sons, ages 12 & 17, that look completely normal in appearance. If they came to your door trick or treating, would you automatically turn them away due to age? Do you ever wonder how many times you may have cruelly hurt a child's feelings by turning them away unknowingly?I have gotten mostly away from going house to house with my boys on Halloween. I tend to take them to more Trunk or Treat events now. These are mostly held at churches & I have found that they tend to be somewhat less judgmental about them participating. We are also military, & there are a great many more kids on post who are also Special Needs. That helps as well I believe.So…. In conclusion, I kindly request that you please take this information into account this year before you may rudely dismiss a young person strictly based on size or supposed age. They may not understand. A little kindness, compassion could really make it a great adventure & lots of fun for them!
What can an 18 and 20 year old do on Halloween?
I understand! Last Halloween, my boyfriend and I went on a date to a really fancy restaurant with our costumes on (it was SO much fun!!!) Then we went to a movie with some friends. If there is a mall near by, just go walk around in it! Have fun!

What is the history of Halloween?
Halloween, the 2nd most expensive festival in U.S. after Christmas is extremely popular amongst kids, where they get an opportunity to trick and treat.The fun and frolic element of Halloween is pretty new. It traces its route to the ancient Samhain festival celebrated in Ireland. Samhain is considered the time when the 'door' to the other world opens and dead communicates with the earthly beings. It also traces routes from All Hallow's Eve and All Saint's Day celebrated in many parts of the world.Basically the dead were remembered and many people believed that as the spirits could wander freely during the period, they can probably inhabit their houses. Thus, to scare them away, Irish people started placing the carved turnips outside their homes. This was their way to ward off the devil.Likewise, All Hallow's Eve and All Saint's Day also included pleasing the dead.However, as Irish migrated to U.S. which has Pumpkins in abundance, they started creating the jack o lanterns of Pumpkin.Initially, this festival had too many superstitions and many people still suffer fromSamhainophobia which is an irrational fear of Halloween.However, most of the superstitions are rooted out in this century and it has been transformed to a holiday where Halloween parties are arranged, strange costumes are worn and a lot of trick and treat is enjoyed by the kids. It might surprise you but the Candy makers love Halloween as its a $6 billion industry.

What is appropriate to wear for Halloween? I worry about wearing something inappropriate because it can be offensive. I am from overseas and new to Halloween. Is it okay to wear princess costumes (white culture) or American Indian costumes?
I want to point something out in your details.You say “princess costume (white culture)” then “American Indian (American Indian culture)”.These are incredibly different things.Whereas princess costumes are considered fictional, whimsical characters, “American Indian” is not a costume. It’s not a character that you can put on and go, “Oh, look! I’m an American Indian!”They’re just people. They aren’t characters.Princesses also aren’t white culture. Plenty of non-white cultures had/have princesses (or an equivalent), so you aren’t appropriating white culture by dressing up as one. White people don’t own princesses.Here’s what you shouldn’t dress as:Another culture. Indians aren’t costumes. Black people aren’t costumes. Mexicans aren’t costumes.I would encourage dressing as something fictitious— a character, a monster. Dressing as objects is always interesting (crayons, light bulbs— get creative).Don’t be insensitive. Use common sense.“Holocaust victim” is not a Halloween costume. “Terrorist” is not a halloween costume.“Dragon in sexy underwear” is a Halloween costume.When in doubt, go conservative. Princess is a fine choice.
