No. I haven't pass out candy for several years now! When I ask the reason for Halloween nobody knows or cares about the answer, I ask them to do a trick before I'd give a treat & they just stand there looking at me with a stupid look, worst of all some kids have the nerve to show up at my door without a Halloween custom on!

Nope, I will be at work Halloween night. We do not get many trick or treaters on my street anyhow.

Totally handing out candy for Halloween. We set up a fire pit in our front yard and have three to four neighbors over for handing out candy to the kids. We also have a table with three slow cookers (filled with chili), a cooler filled with bottles of wine and another cooler filled with beer for the parents. We generally finish handing out candy by nine in the evening and try to get to bed by eleven unless Halloween falls on the weekend. We have been drifting more towards the Dia de los Muertos theme-love the concept and heritage (and I love skulls)! Last year we had nice weather in Colorado which is a rarity in October. I think that the temperatures are supposed to be down in the low fifties tomorrow but at least we are not expecting snow! Happy Halloween to one and all!

Live on a dead end street, so we usually just get maybe 4 or 5 kids (neighbors only).

Will be passing out candy.  Not may kids on the block anymore but there are always a ton that the parents drop them off in a car and wait for them.  Guess they like the candy that our neighborhood passes out

We never get trick or treaters here.  Kind of a bummer because I enjoy it!   I DO get some candy for "just in case "

Trick or treating was more fun as the kid than it is as the person answering the door. It is actually kind of a scary thing to open your door and not know who is really out there.

We haven't passed out Halloween candy in years. Our neighborhood kids have grown up just like our own children and hardly any of them go trick-or-treating anymore. But I have to agree with others on this subject: trick-or-treating was a lot more safe and fun back when I was a kid than it is now. :pumpkin:

I always do it!  For me it's a treat seeing the kids dress up in costumes.

I would be glad to pass out candy, but we don't really get any kids. Our house is a bit far from the road, I think. I still always pick up at least one bag of candy, just in case. I'm sure it won't go to waste.  ;)

I'll give most of it to my grandkids, I'm sure. Although, I might grab at least one piece for myself.  :)

I will be at work during the town's "Trunk or Treat" time.
The town blocks off most of Main Street, businesses decorate their vehicles and park them in the closed off section of the street.  The kiddos basically just walk in a very long long line from trunk to trunk to collect treats.

This activity has drastically cut down on the number of kids who go door to door for treats.

We live in a retirement community so there aren't any children that come to our house.  I kinda miss it  :(
