LONDON – Trick-or-treaters beware: Manners count — even on Halloween. Britain's authority on etiquette, Debrett's, issued its first guidance Wednesday on how to behave during the uber-American holiday.

Playground etiquette
So I'm at the mall this morning with the kiddies (just had to check out the MAC Starflash collection!) and took the boys to the little playground area. It's a little kiddie playland where the kids take off their shoes and run around and lose their minds (well, at least mine do) :ROTFL: There was a little boy - maybe around 2 - that I saw hit another girl. The grandmother got the little boy and said, "No hitting, bad boy" and then sat back down.Yoga Class Etiquette
