So what do you do for Halloween?

Pass out ~ Large Candy bar, hand full of small candy, fruit, or turn off the light and watch tv in the basement.

We hand the Large Candy Bars and the kids love us

 

we live in a gate area so I sit in the living room watching tv, with all the lights on and eat the candy since no one can get into the place if they dont live here.
After about 30 minutes off go the lights and I eat all the candy

 

Believe we had 1 or 2 kids back in 1979. Nada since then. Wife keeps buying candy and has it ready by the front door in case. We're in a rural area and most people take their kids to the large housing developments.

 

We get a lot of kids here. I hand out candy to trick or treaters until the wife gets home, then we head out trick or treating, and return home to hand out everything we have left.

 

Usually bring the portable DVD player, throw on a favorite movie and sit out in the driveway passing out candy bars to the few kids that still believe in trick-or-treating...

I usually am lucky to get 20 kids stopping by all night...

Our street of 25 homes may have 4 or 5 homes passing out candy... how sad...

Unlike the great days of past when I was a kid... when every house passed out candy and you'd have to come home and dump out your bag to make room for more candy...

 

When I was a kid my parents would not let me go trick-or-treating; it's an experience I have not had. Even though now as an adult my tolerance for kids is minimal at best, I make allowances on Halloween and try to do the house up with lights, decorations, fog machines, sound effects, and the rest. I hand out the snack size candies, but am fairly generous with how I hand them out...I'm not a one piece to a person kind of guy.

As I noted elsewhere in my regional thread, though, I'm at work tonight, and won't get home until about 9pm, so no Halloween at my house tonight. It's declined in recent years anyway...most people on my street keep their house dark and don't welcome trick-or-treaters, which of course keeps many away from my house, since it's usually about the only "open" house for a good stretch of houses in the area. Bah humbug.

 

watching the Spurs for the second night in a row

 

we have a 1 yr old, so we go out for trick or treat.

scored some nice candy tonight.
lol

 

I was on car-port, packaging up a bike to ship.

We have only about, 4 small groups, to come by.

I gave extra to a young boy, that said,

"I like your Chevy!!!!"

LAter,

We have very few kids in the 'hood, so I guess I will be up with heartburn after eating all of those Kit Kat bars.
