How is your Trick-or-Treater action

[Quiet Em]

Mine is on the lower end so far. Very windy here.

It seems we get less and less since Covid. I think my neighborhood is also aging, so, not as many kids as years gone by.

2. We live on the outskirts of the action...

As a result we only get the 3-4 kids who live on our street on their way up to Main Street where the action is.

Been that way for 20 years we’ve lived here…

3. Am sorry to even say this, not open for Halloween......my husband loved today with the neighbor kids.....

Me?? Not so much, he passed away last May and I didn’t do Halloween last year ain’t doing it this year. I know, I know, just do it….no not gonna. I didn’t do it when he was alive, sure not gonna do it now. What’s the term for grinch but for Halloween? 🎃

6. I'm so very sorry for your loss

Hugs and strength to you.

Halloween isn't for everyone. I know many people who feel uncomfortable about it. I don't think it makes you a grinch.

9. Are you out there trick-or-treating with the kids?

If so, good for you. I miss those days.

I always think of Halloween as the official start of hot cocoa weather.

13. No, on our front porch.

I really enjoy the young families where they all dress up.

10. Mostly Retired neighborhood here too...

We have no candy... But we have canned vegetables, or benefits of sauce from Taco Bell and the Chinese restaurant

[Quiet Em]

11. It's ok to turn your light off.

I've noticed that more and more older people don't participate. Candy is expensive.

[QueerDuck]

12. Yep... We do.

It was fun to celebrate with the neighborhood kids, but they're all grown up and gone now

Edit: yes, even at costco, Candy is very expensive

14. Same as usual. Zero, zip, nada, nobody.

We live in a semi-rural suburb and have a long, steep, very dark driveway, halfway down a hill it's raining and the driveway is slippery.

15. We had almost 400 kids last night!

In some Northeastern cities around the Great Lakes, trick-or-treating happens on the night of October 30th. Most call it Devil’s Night. Here it’s called Beggars’ Night. I live in a neighborhood that has a long established tradition of people creating haunted backyards and ghostly garages that attracts families from outside the area. We do a candy count and we gave out 367 Reese’s, Kit-Kats, Butterfingers, M&Ms, Tootsie Pops, and Milk Duds. It’s been like this for many years. We always look forward to Beggars’ Night. 👻
