AnswerBecause the old people think that kids nowadays are crazy for pennies and raisins just like they thought when they were kids.

Senior Citizens have a rough time with their social security, give them a break, a penny to an old person is like a $100 to a wall street banker.

Raisins have a lot of fiber, old people need fiber, therefore old people have a lot of raisins, even a few a extra to hand out to those lucky trick or treaters

What do people eat in Halloween?

Candy, candy, candy - lots of candy that children are given by their neighbors. When I was younger, people also used to give pennies and fruit. Now they just give candy and kids eat as much of it as their parents will allow. We also used to "bob for apples" and wind up eating a lot of apples. We used to eat baked pumpkin seeds left over from making jack-o-lanterns.

Is the ragamuffin parade a Thanksgiving parade?

When I was a young girl, living in Astoria, NY, we dressed as ragamuffins and went door to door asking if the people had anything for Thanksgiving. People would give us pennies or apples for the poor children. That was in the late 1930s and early 1940's . We didn't go Trick or Treat for Halloween. Mary now from Rockland County, NY
