My mom reports that she told all the non-costumed, teen-aged trick-or-treaters at her door that they had to sing Jingle Bells while standing on one foot before they would get a piece of candy.

To hear her tell it, she got more takers than not.

Apparently she also built up a reputation as the evening progressed, letting her have encounters like this:

Mom [eyeing teenager suspiciously]: So how old are you?

Kid: Twelve?

Mom: Yeah, right. Start singing.

Anyway, nobody pranked my parents this Halloween. They've officially become lovable old crazy people to the wandering yoots. Yay
