This is our 3rd Halloween in our home, and we dutifully and exhuberently passed out candy the first two years, since we both love kids and wanted to see all the costumes. This year, I just couldn't get into it. Over the previous two years, we got a steady stream of kids at the door, but: 1) very few of them were from our neighborhood; 2) very few of them were dressed up; and 3) almost nobody said Thank You - most didn't even say Trick or Treat, they just stuck their bags in our faces.
Trick or Treating is supposed to be about community, and about enjoying the kids in your neighborhood. Now it just makes feel bad about the way kids are being raised today. It just put me in a sour mood the previous two years, so this year I decided not even to waste the money on candy and decorations.

Tonya- sorry about your car! (I keep my ears open all night for sounds of eggs hitting cars or the house!)
