疗养院为孩子们打开了“不给糖就捣蛋”的大门

这是第一次，这家疗养院为孩子们打开了“不给糖就捣蛋”的大门，接待了5000多名游客

No matter if you’re young or old, most of us love Halloween. What’s not to love? The streets get filled with joyous trick-or-treaters, adults get a chance to play dress-up, and homes are filled with massive quantities of candy. However, a retirement home is not the first place trick-or-treaters think of when they go on their hunt. But as it turns out, the elderly, who live in nursing homes and already feel lonely as it is, can’t wait for the kids to come up to ask for candy. Just recently, one nursing home in Webster, Texas took it to Facebook to ask people to donate candy which they could give out to trick-or-treaters on Halloween. Not only did people donate candy, but thousands of them came to celebrate All Hallows Eve together with the elderly, leaving them ecstatic.

不管你是年轻人还是老年人，我们大多数人都喜欢万圣节。为什么不去爱呢?街道上到处都是欢乐的“不给糖就捣蛋”的人，大人们有机会打扮一番，家家户户都堆满了糖果。然而，当“不给糖就捣蛋”的人去“打猎”时，养老院并不是他们想到的第一个地方。但事实证明，住在养老院的老人已经感到孤独，他们等不及孩子们上来要糖果了。就在最近，德克萨斯州韦伯斯特的一家养老院在Facebook上邀请人们捐赠糖果，他们可以在万圣节给“不给糖就捣蛋”的人。人们不仅捐赠糖果，而且成千上万的人来和老人一起庆祝万圣节，让他们欣喜若狂。

These retirement home residents were missing the true Halloween spirit so they invited trick-or-treaters to come

这些养老院的居民错过了真正的万圣节精神，所以他们邀请了不给糖就捣蛋的人来

“We need trick or treaters! Please bring your children, grandchildren, and their friends to Heartis Clear Lake at 14520 Hwy 3, Webster, TX 77598 on October 31st between 6-8 pm for a night of fun! We will have a moonwalk, hayride, games, food and lots of candy! Come one! Come all!” the Facebook post read.

“不给糖就捣蛋!”请在10月31日晚6-8点之间带您的孩子、孙子和他们的朋友到我们的湖区游玩。我们将有一个月球漫步，干草车，游戏，食物和许多糖果!来吧，都来吧Facebook上的帖子写道。

A few weeks prior, the residents asked for candy donations so they could hand them out to the neighborhood

几个星期前，居民们要求捐赠糖果，这样他们就可以把糖果分发给邻居们

The staff of the nursing home photographed their residents holding up the signs that said: “We miss giving candy to trick-or-treaters on Halloween. Please help us reach our goal of collecting enough candy to invite the community to our home for a safe and fun place to trick-or-treat. Thank you!”

养老院的工作人员拍下了他们的住客举着的牌子，上面写着:“我们怀念在万圣节给不给糖就捣乱的日子。”请帮助我们达到我们的目标，收集足够的糖果，邀请社区到我们的家，一个安全而有趣的地方，不给糖就捣蛋。谢谢你!”
