Ragamuffin is still done its just a little different. Now its mostly done by adults on Thanksgiving night into Friday. Instead of door to door you find one door of a store. Then like a homeless person you camp out all night, fight with other homeless, and then get some commercial product you can't pay for.

Reply to TIL about Ragamuffin Day, a celebration in the New York metro area in the late-1800s and early-1900s in which children wore costumes and went door-to-door asking for candy or money on Thanksgiving. It fell out of favor as trick-or-treating on Halloween gained acceptance in the 1940s and '50s. by PikesPique
