A seasonal decoration, often a sign or placard, displayed to encourage neighborly interaction during a specific holiday. This visual cue typically indicates that a residence is offering treats and welcoming visitors for a trick-or-treating experience on a specific date. As an example, residents might place an indication near their front door, signaling to children and families that they are actively participating in the holiday’s festivities.
The use of such signals fosters a sense of community engagement and provides clarity to participants during traditional holiday activities. Displaying these indicators can contribute to a safer and more organized event, allowing families to easily identify welcoming homes and plan their route accordingly. Historically, this practice has evolved as a simple method of communicating participation to reduce uncertainty and encourage widespread involvement.
