My sister is 23 and still dresses up and goes out knocking doors for candy... and I find it weird but I let her do her. It got me thinking, at what age do you think someone should stop Trick r Treating at? Just curious.

I would put together a costume if it meant I could go trick-or-treating and get tamales and empanadas instead of candy.

Yes, this sounds potentially awesome.

That's extra cool, tbh. We have our own traditional costumes but regular people are only required to pay respects to the dead to be invited some tamales, home-made bread and all kinds of things. See, the thing is you are invited to eat whatever the dead loved to eat and drink. So, put together each home with their own dead people, this amazing Mexican gastronomy and some homes mixing their ancestry with other cultures (I'm loosely related to a Mexican-Chinese family, for example), it can be pretty wild in the stomach, but just marvelous.
