ummm... a big part of the fun for kids is being able to t-or-t in the DARK! Roaming the streets in the dark is a special thing that they don't normally get to do.

When I used to go T-o-Ting, my friends and I never began our candy collecting mission before darkness. That's just not Halloween! I have reason to believe the tradition continues because it's still extraordinarily rare to see other lil'uns in search of confections prior to the sun setting in my neck o da hood.
