Is it because Methodists don't like trading cards?

I have no idea, I’m not religious. I was showing that I was handing them out and not hording them.

Gotcha, that's a pretty cool idea! Good way to introduce new players. MTG should do something similar.

That would be awesome if they did that

I made bags with little toys and threw a pack into each one. Definitely a nice treat.

Awesome! That is a whole lot of joy you are spreading right there.

Methodists are chill as Abrahamic cults go, they just don't drink for the most part. They also tend to be more active in the Jesus parts of the story, like helping for folks with food pantries and school clothes and bags for poor kids.

Good to hear!

what is trunk or treat?

I’m doing the same but with a small goodie bag! With 2 pieces of candy and a pack!

I have goodie bags and mini boosters. Now let's see if I get kids this year haha.

A trunk or treat is when people get together and round their cars up in a parking lot or something and decorate the trunks all Halloween-y. Then the kids can go car to car getting candy.

It's just a fun alternative (or supplement) to kids going door to door trick-or-treating.

Oh? I thought there was a joke in this post regarding the whole "Pokemon is satanic/the devil/wah-dee-wah" thing that people believed back in the late 90s and early 2000s. Guess not. My bad lol.

A safer one as well.

A lot of parents do it because they don't want their kid run over by cars, or just feel uncomfortable with the prospect of knocking on the doors of complete strangers. Some also do trick-or-treat as well. It's been a thing since at least before 2020 but soared in popularity over the course of the pandemic for obvious reasons.

I honestly don’t know how to feel about this, I’m too old for Pokémon and my kids are too young. It’s not extra sugar though so you get a thumbs up from this old parent 👍
