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.
