Will you pass out candy this Halloween?

[bremer51]

I have a bowl of candy for whoever stops by...usually its just family members and a few neighbors.

[hawkeye3210]

Yes, I passed out candy this year.

I don't pass out any candy because no one trick or treats in my neighborhood. It's not labeled as a senior neighborhood or adult community however everyone living here do not have young children.

I will not be giving out candy this Halloween. I will be getting candy.

I didn't think I would be passing out candy tonight,but I changed my mind at the lasr minute.I didn't get many trick or treaters.Most of them were in the first hour,then I spent the second hour mostly waiting for kids to show up.

I think it can still be kept safe for kids if parents institute a number of security steps like going with their children when they are very young, have the kids go in groups when a little older, and check all candy before kids are allowed to eat it.

Well Today is November 1st .. the day after Halloween.  I wasn't going to give out candy but at the last minute I grabbed 3 bags while I was out shopping.  I got home after dark so the kids were already out.  I sent the hubby out into the driveway with the  candy while I started dinner.  He was back in 20 mins.  All 3 bags were gone. 

It would cost me a small fortune to buy enough for all the kids that we get.  Every year I keep saying this is the last year.

We didn't pass out candy this year. Kids hardly come by our neighborhood anymore.

We barely got trick or treaters last night.

A friend and I passed out candy last evening at the Fraternal Order of Eagles that we belong to. We were outside freezing our bootys off but it was worth it to see the costumes on the little ones and also the teens. We didn't have near the amount of kids this year. That part is sad.

Trick or Treating has really changed over the years.
We had ONE child ring our door bell last night.

I believe it is due to our town's new Trunk Or Treat activity that is held downtown 4pm-5:30pm.  Main Street is closed off for a three block segment.  Businesses and groups decorate their car or van trunk and the kids walk in a huge line from trunk to trunk in safety to collect candy.

By the time it gets dark when the kids used to go out door to to door, they have been given so much candy they don't need to go out again.

Nah, I'd rather save my money and donate it to a charity I really care about. I'm already helping out at a homeless shelter on Thanksgiving with the cooking and cleaning, and also give to an animal rights charity every year. Passing out candy to rich kids would be a waste of my time, but no shade to those who do it. It's just not my thing.

I had a bowl on the porch filled with chocolate candies...   no one stole the bowl & there was even some candy left when I brought it back in at 10pm. 

I have cameras on my house so it looks like there were just 4 different groups of people that stopped by.   Only one small child, with 3 adults... was the first, she came early.  The last group was some teenage boys from down the street, came about 9pm... they took handfuls.   They had pretty elaborate costumes.   

Successful Halloween

Yes, I will but I never get a lot of kids.
