Lauren: Actually yeah, I like that fact. It's a bit annoying to have kids ringing at your door for candy. I know that kind of tradition though from New Year's Eve. We used to dress up and go around for candy on New Year's Eve. We had to sing or recite a poem (usually about christmas time or Jesus) and then we'd get candy. It's sorta like Halloween.
It's a custom mostly known in northern germany. And it's not just the kids who do this. Adults also go around and then usually get liquor.
