Spin off - how much candy do you give out?

[*LabLoverKEB*]

We don't get too many trick-or-treaters here... but there are a lot of younger kids here, so I don't get it! We weren't home last year, so I could be wrong for this year.

I too believe that you are too old to trick-or-treat once you hit 12-13. I hate the teenagers that dress all skanky and still ask for candy.

Anyone taller than me ( I am 5'6") has to be in costume, and with a younger kid, and everyone has to say "trick or treat!" - most parents make their kids say "thank you," if the kids don;t remember to do it, which they usually do!

We live in a Patio Home area... Lots of buildings with 6 attached units. No reason for people to not come by.. the front doors are 10 feet apart! That's nothing compared to when I used to go in my mom's subdivision.. where the lots are about .25-.5 acres each.

We didn't get any last year! And the year before that we had maybe 2 or 3. There's several kids around here too. And our patio home area is inside of a large, well established subdivision... so it's rather surprising to me that we don't get any Trick or Treaters. Guess it's ok though.. we sold all of our candy today at the local Flea market! =) Maybe we'll give out packs of Trident if anyone comes by.. Have a few left over from the flea market.

I always liked the people who put out a cooler and gave out sodas. Of course, that's because we never had much soda growing up, and if we did, it was always diet. Such is life. =)

I can never tell how many kids will come, and I have been here 9 years. I like Halloween, all the neighbors sit out and talk. Like the last conversation until spring.

J likes to walk up and down our block, then head back to hand out candy.

Anyone else give out dog treats to people who bring their dogs?

Believe it or not, when I was a little kid and my brothers took me out trick or treating, we came home with dog biscuits that someone was giving out in bags to the kids in place of candy. My parents were furious, and it's a good thing we couldn't identity which house they came from. Guess that's not as bad as some of the other horror stories that you would hear of - like needles or razor blades in apples, etc. Makes you wonder what makes some people tick!

When my kids were little and would go out, they were only allowed to keep things like candy bars or packs of gum - no loose candy or cookies and the like. It's a shame that's the way it has to be because of a few sickos!

None == Never to do on Saturday Night due to more Hoodlums out then.. Pluss I Do Not Do Halloween anymore due to my Babies.. They just can not handle the doorbell & all of the noisess.. We will sit quite thru the night hopefully.. Even with the front door locked & all the lights out = there will still be some idiots slam on the door knocking & ringing the door bell..
