We make up 200 treat bags that have a bag of chips, 2 or 3 small chocolate bars, handful of gum/rockets/lolipops and a cold pop of their choice: rootbeer/cream soda/grape/orange.  We have to turn the lights out at 8:30 each year when we run out.   Our house is really decorated and the kids tell us each year how much they love being scared.  They're all polite, say thank you for the treats and always compliment the pumpkins and decor. 

I think I'm the biggest kid!

Sometimes I feel I need to take out a second mortgage on my home to finance the amount of candy I buy and hand out on Halloween in my neighborhood!

Halloween is a Saturday so we're expecting record breaking crowds :) I always give out candy but I never buy it until the last minute.

No.  In my city 99% of the kids go to the malls, churches or schools for the "safe" trick-or-treating events.  My parents are on the north side of town, they've seen MAYBE 5 kids a year come through and there are a good amount of kids living in that area.  I'm more of the central part of the city and I saw two groups of 6 kids the last couple of years.  I end up eating the candy myself, so I stopped buying it.

I usually go to the gym, eat dinner and come home to watch a movie as it gets dark.  I've NEVER had a kid come to my door in the five years I've lived at this address.

 

Sad really.  That was the best part was going door-to-door.

North Idaho a bit too far stretched from one house to the other for productive, or even safe, trick or treating.  Our main office has decorating contests and invites families/kids in to trick or treat in a safe environment.  Pretty cool actually.

No, in 15 years I have never had any little visitors.  I also see more schools have in house parties and a fading of this tradition.

Probably not.  Since we moved in, back in 2007, we have had (Zero) Trick-or-treaters.  We are one of only 2 homes on a busy street, with no sidewalks, outside the city.

Always, but I do it a bit differently.

I'm always in St Maarten Halloween week. I check with the parents first, and then do a cupcake delivery  to each kid w/ cupcakes from a VERY good local bakery.
