Trick or Treaters: More or Less this year?

I had substantially fewer this year.

Each year I get 72 - 75 items; this year it was Halloween zipper pulls. I never give out candy.

Normally, I have to put the light out after an hour and a half, I have run out of items. I will glance out the window, and see the street is still busy with children going door to door.

This year, I waited 2.5 hours and put the light out; I have 11 items left. Wonder if it is the cold weather?

I just LOVE seeing the little kids, lol!

We had more this year, 41! That's up from prior years, it has been growing every year as the neighborhood population changes, we've had more families moving in, hence more kids!

Its 7pm here and we've had three little girls so far. We never have too many anyway.

The same as the past 20 years - none.

We live on a dead-end, dirt, private road. No one ever comes down here

We had more this year than we've ever had... a grand total of 8, LOL.

It's been the same. A big zero. I never get anyone because I live in a security building with very few children. Around here many children don't go door to door unless they know you. They go to malls or parties to get their Halloween candy. Even in my parents neighborhood there have been fewer children each year.
