Do children trick or treat where you live?

[kapeh12]

I moved to a residential neighborhood last year and recalled seeing a few trick-or-treaters around after school/before dinner time...unfortunately I had skating practice and wasn't able to hand out any treats, as they were all done by the time I got back.  Looks like that may be the case again this year.  Perhaps next year I'll get to hand out treats...

It seems to change from year to year. Some years we have just a few and other years it is non stop.Our township has a curfew so late afternoon is the busiest. In prior years I have been working but this year I will be home. Maybe I will dress up  a little and get the dog a festive scarf and have some fun with it.

We always find it hard to plan since we never have any idea as to how much to buy.We try to buy pretzels our another prepackaged but healthy snack. If we cannot we buy something that we do not care for or else we will be eating it all week!

How does everyone handle the Halloween leftovers?

I am not a big fan of Holloween. My wife enjoys the little one's though (5 and under). I live in a large single family housing area and we get quite a few kids come on holloween. We normally go through about 4-5 bags of candy. Probably about 50-60 kids.

im living in the city and we have a few kids in the neighborhood who still go trick or treating.

Omg, yes. I live out in the sticks with only a handful of kids in the area, yet we go thru more than 150 to 200 pieces of candy. The doorbell rings non-stop....I have no idea where they come from  and every year we get a woman who is at least late sixties to early seventies here for candy  Guess Halloween isn't just for kids! 

[bigedshult]

yes. it a lot of fun too see the little one all direst up for it.

We don't get many in our neighborhood, but I don't think it has anything to do with parents not letting their kids do it. Most of the people around here are retired and/or grandparents. We just don't have many growing families living here.

We lived in an apartment complex until we moved and had a lot of trick or treaters. Now we live in a house  and have not had that many visitors. I hope we have a bunch this year.

I live in a condo and have had very few trick-or-treaters over the years.

When I was growing up there was a older couple across the street didn't have any children but they loved Halloween. They decorated their whole house and she dressed up  as a witch. Everyone came to their house even people who lived two towns away.

I know there are many reasons including safety concerns as to why children don't go trick-or-treating anymore. I just think it's a shame they've lost that part of their childhood.

Where I live maybe one or two will knock on my door.

Most of the kids in my neighborhood are teenagers and are two old to go trick or treating, but there are a few little ones that will go trick or treating this halloween!

[waterbottle]

in my area they are no trickers., but i do no that in the city there are a lot of them

[SmartyTru]

Yeah there are a fair amount of trick or treaters where I live.  There isn't an over abundance of them because there is a more wealthy neighborhood right behind mine, so most of the kids only go back in that neighborhood as they think they will get better treats.

LOL GREEDY BRATS Just Kidding Happy Halloween

I live in a large college student apartment complex (over 500 students) but they trick or treaters rarely visit because most residents are out partying.. lol
