There are only a couple of kids in my neighborhood and I don't really see them on halloween.  They might go to a bigger neighborhood to get more candy...don't know.

I never had visitors.I lived in the country. I got to eat the candy and watch my Shining. This year will be different because I will be spending it elsewhere. Still plan to eat candy though.

We now live in a Gated Retirement Community, so there are no children here to give candy to. I do miss doing that and seeing all the cute costumes.

I would if we got any truck or treaters around here. Most people go into town though to t&t.

Yes, I do. And I decorate for Halloween and dress up in a costume of some sort.

I got use to years ago but got delusionalized@the practice because 1. Kids don't even know basic history of Halloween; come on why do we dress up on hallow's eve? 2. Kids just come to the door not even wearing a costume!Not giving out hard earned FC monies to kids expecting free candies & don't even wear a Halloween costume on Halloween?!!!!! 3. Kids' are just rude & greedy. Like take piece of candy please, translates to 2 handfull of candies! 4. I can't stand other people's kids!

I don't give out halloween candy anymore. I think less and less kids are going from house to house and they are just doing things at schools, which is safer.

no...not really...where I live isn't really conducive to trick or treating...especially considering it's an apartment complex that's locked...

I live in a rural area and have never had a lot of trick or treaters but the last few years we don't get any so I've stopped buying candy.

Yes We had 88 trick or treaters last year. Candy is expensive so I try and get the big bags when they are on sale during Sept. and Oct. and stock up.

We don't we live in the country with no neighbors. I'll just bring my kid in downtown to do treat and tricking during halloween.
