So, the kids have begun "Trick or Treating" already.

I. Fucking. Hate. Halloween.
I've been stressing it for two weeks before this day that I wasn't going to be answering the door to anyone.

dump buckets of water on them

don't you have a thing where you have to turn on your lights if you're greeting trick-or-treaters?

I don't think that's so much a rule as it is a "It looks like no-one's home, never mind that house"
If it is a rule of some sort then it's not a rule over here.

However, I don't think my family wants to walk around the house in the dark so......
Also my parents don't seem to mind them as much as I do.

Ah, I was talking to this other American on another site.
So, over in the States you lot actually don't bother people who don't want to celebrate Halloween?

Over here it's assumed everyone is fucking participating.

I was going to leave my dog on the inside of the door because she'd start barking mad whenever the kids came near or knocked on the door.
My father wouldn't let me though.
