BH, your home was never vandalized by these people.

BH you or your kids have never been screamed at by those going out and not receiving anything.

BH you are too young or innocent to know of all these things. Better to assume that if such a question is being asked, it’s not so pashut that Yidden are trying to flatter goyim or just want to participate in such a thing. It’s more likely they simply care to keep the peace between the non Jews and have a peaceful Shabbos/ whatever night it is.

Why even give out anything to take part in this goyishe nonsense? (Even if you do happen to open your door just say trick instead of treat to ward them off)
Then if they ask for a treat just say ” don’t have any sorry”!
