Your Trick or Treat Strategy ?

[TXHokie]

Side story but I remember being a new immigrant kid in the US for the first time at 9 yrs old and my cousin was trying to explain Halloween. "Wait, so you knock on people's door and say this phrase and people give you candy??? No way! What a freaking awesome country this is!!!"

We haven’t had a single kid come trick-or-treating at our door in over 5 years. That’s just one of the benefits of living in a senior citizen community...NO KIDS!

I’m gonna miss that when we move next month.

We left a bowl on our porch of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups because my wife and I went out with our 3 year old to trick or treat with a huge group of people. We went to a party prior to have some drinks and jello shots, as well as making a to-go drink. We were double fisting half the time because of some adults who setup shop and give out adult beverages along with candy for the kids, and I was already carrying my own. There were tons of kids out in my neighborhood and it's awesome to see it. I saw a few houses with lights off and cars in the driveways and just picture old grouchy Clint Eastwood in the house. People who can't hand out candy to little kids one day of the year are fucking dicks.

I was shocked when we got home and still had like 7 Reese's Cups left in the tub. I guess we had decent kids in our neighborhood, because had I seen a bowl of Reese's Cups sitting out when I was a kid, the whole thing would have gone in my pillow case.

Our neighborhood dried up a 8 o clock.
And it was warm all night. So things were good.

Except we planned for 200 kids and we got considerably less than 100. Now I'm gonna get fat.

"gonna"

LOL

Speaking of pillow cases... these days it seems like every single kid either has a plastic or paper bag. Pillow case is hands-down the best, especially since you can stick your head inside it and root around for candy.

Daughter #1 left a bowl of candy at the door and went out. When she got home someone had dropped off an Almond Joy they didn't want. No Almond Joy love, I guess.

Daughter #2 handed out candy with girlfriend's family. She gave some candy to a developmentally disabled woman in costume and the girlfriend's mom grinched-out saying "we don't give candy to adults" even though it was obvious the woman was mentally a kid. My daughter laughed because we give candy to anyone in costume or who says "trick or treat" since it's Halloween and we're all having fun. Either give out candy or don't, but don't be a grump about it.
