Happy Hallowe’en!!
What’s your fave Halloween joke. (It’s Scottish tradition-a joke, a song or rhyme. Nothing for nothing 😂)
How about this one- Why are ghosts so bad at lying? Because you can see right through them! #pawsonplastic

Just the 2 sets of guisers tonight.
6 or 7 wee boys (clutching their pretty laden bags of loot!) and then 2 girls, a bit older.
All very sweet and polite.

'Halloween', Robert Burns (1785).
I like the following annotation the #BBC has appended to Burns's poem, the opening line of which is:
"American style 'trick or treat' juvenile extortion rackets have largely replaced Scottish guising...." 😀 […]

Really enjoying demanding jokes or songs from these Edinburgh trick-or-treaters — traditionally called guising. I really like having to be creative to get a treat. Here are some of the jokes I’ve heard. #guising #scotland

In Scotland its called 'Guising'. Kids get dressed up all scary like knock on doors to recite scary verses and get sweets and pennies. None of this trick & treat nonsense.

Photo of 3 trick o treaters, a dinosaur, a statue of liberty, and a dracula. It says, "She'd always loved Halloween. A magic night. A night when anything could happen. Monsters could be real. Magic could whisper in the air." -Cynthia Eden
💫 The tradition of "guising" required trick-or-treaters to perform, recite poems, tell jokes, or sing songs to earn their treats. It was about exchange of energy, not just free candy.
Let's return to that! Wouldn't that be fun? 🦹♂️🦹♀️🧙🧟

End of summer leaves decay,
Harvest moon lights up the way.
Bonfires 🔥 blaze to cleanse our fears.
Samhain night as old year clears.

Please tell me I did •not• just overhear an advert on the radio in the cafe voiced by sbdy w/ a #Scottish accent (therefore probably on an actual Scottish radio station) referring to “our trick-or-treat trail”?! It’s #guising you total tumshie!! You certainly ought to ken better! 😒😡
