Yes, where I live they trick or treat in the area, but down on my end of the street I don't get any, but my granddaugther goes on the other end where all the kids live and she gets lots of candy.

This is my first year in this home so I'll have to wait and see how it goes. Got candy just in case!

No, I live in a senior mobile home park and no one comes in here.  I'm not usually home anyway. :wave: :wave:

No we live far out in the county and have not had a trick or treater in about 15 years.  I always have a little something here just in case we are surprised.

Yes we have a lot of kids that still trick or treat!  I love seeing the little ones dressed up it is a lot of fun.  Our church has a nice alternative for the kids .... they dress up as bible characters (or anything they want really) and go from booth to booth in what they call the Hebrew market place.  The get a short demo of how they did things in those days like weave a basket, crush wheat etc... and get candy.  It teaches as well as treats ... no tricks :)

Yes we have trick or treaters visit us every year.

We live in a small town so it is safe and fun for the kids.  Most parents walk with the kids  --- or drive them if the weather is cold.

When I was growing up, Trick or Treating was the best, and I took my son as well. We always had so much fun, I don't think as many kids do it now a days, because of the scare. But I don't think it is as bad as they make it out to be. I don't know too many cases of bad stuff in candy and you don't really hear of it anymore. I am thinking of going to my husbands work, dressing up and handing out candy, I don't know yet.

Actually there are a lot of trick or treaters in my neighborhood. There are a lot of 4 plexes and duplexes on this street so it is so easy for the kids to fill their bag pretty fast. I always have extra candy so in case I get a lot of kids here.

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. :wave: :peace:
I LOVE HALLOWEEN AND IM 26 AND STILL DRESS UP AND CELEBRATE IT

We live in a sub-division that has a whole lot of children. So halloween is a very busy time here. I love it so much that I still wear a custom to give out candy. Sometimes we even set up a spooky house in the basement for the children to enjoy.

I live on the main "halloween street" in my town, every kid in the area makes sure to come through here. This is the first halloween we'll be here for, so I'm really excited! We have a 5 gallon bucket full of candy to hand out :)
