Thread: What would YOU do?

Tweet

I give out full size candy bars and each year I get more and more kids. I don't care if the teens trick or treat as long as they have some sort of costume. I have some tootsie rolls for the teens who don't dress up or I would run out of candy for the little kids. ALL little kids get candy, whether or not they dress up, or say "trick or treat" or "thank you". Some of the kids in my neighborhood don't speak English. Some of the little kids are already pretty darn scared after walking past a cauldron over burning skulls and knocking at the door of a stranger and having a witch answer that door. Some kids can't muster the courage to come onto the porch so I go out to them.
I have never had any kids throw eggs, or knock over my pumpkins. I think the kids appreciate the decorations more than the candy anyway.

I never really paid attention to it, by the time I open the door I am already grabbing hand full of candy to hand out. And it really doesn;t matter if the kids/adulst don't have costumes. They made the effort to stop by which is rare in my neighborhood
