    No, I'm too old to trick or treat but I used to when I was much younger. It was back in the 70's when things were a lot safer and we knew most of our neighbors too. I really enjoyed it.

    I didn't buy any candy because I rarely get any trick or treaters. I live in a security building in a condo complex and there are very few children that live here. If I bought candy, I'd end up eating it all myself. My parents usually have some left over and my Mom will usually give me some of it.

    I'll probably be watching some scary movies on t.v. tonight with my cats.

    I don't have any trick-or-treaters in my building, so I went to my mom and dad's and answered the door for awhile. The strangest thing was opening the door and having the kids not say anything (elementary school age kids). I just wished them a happy Halloween and put a treat in their sacks.

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    We handed out candy but the weather was chilly so there were fewer kids than other years. Because of the expense of buying candy, I considered not doing it, but Halloween is Tucker's favorite holiday. He loves having the kids come to the door and sits and waits by the side lite window looking out for the next batch of youngsters to arrive.

    Growing up, I always went out door to door iwth friends, it was great fun! There were at least 5 children and 2 moms, often more. My Dad stayed home to answer our door.

    I was so excited when I finally bought my house 8 years back, I could give out treats! For 15 years, living in apartments, didn't get to do that.

    But I don't give candy, never have. This year I gave out 24 page mini activity books. Scary puzzles, scary mazes, scary jokes, all fine for age 5 and up.
