Halloween

I will not be opening my door this year to a bunch of kids treat or treating this October. Will you?

I will as of now. Can't wait! Of course this is far away and things could change. My neighborhood kids are the BEST!

No as we never get any trick or treaters.

Of course I would but I don't think there'll be any....just another fun thing kids will miss doing.

@SeaMaiden Yes! Without a doubt! I've lived my life and have have raised my children and seen my grandchildren growing up. If a little Haloweener is going to kill me, so be it. I'm sick of all of this hiding.

@SeaMaiden If there IS door to door trick or treating here in DC I will participate. I sit on a bench outside my front door with my prepared give away treat bags to hand them out. And I dress up as a friendly good witch! Get compliments from the kids.

Love to see the children and parents so happy and I chat with my neighbors on either side waiting for the next wave of children.

Only if they're wearing masks.

Nope! Never did and never will! It's not just neighborhood kids that you knew and had fun guessing who they were anymore like it used to be when I was a kid - now they come from miles away. I never even liked it when I was a kid and went because my mother said I had to.

@SeaMaiden Re you referring to fears about the CoVi19 or something else? I don't get kids on Halloween so it's a moot point here.

I stopped doing Halloween years ago. Most of the kids around here go to city sponsored events or other parties. We only would get less than a dozen kids so most of our neighbors stopped.

I agree. I'm an optimist.

Too bad because Buddy would look adorable in a wizard hat.

No, I don't open my door to anyone until there's a vaccine for COVID-19

Halloween? Good grief it isn't even the 4th of July yet! And who knows what the pandemic situation will be then?

You must have a lot of time on your hands @Sea Maiden to be ruminating about this issue.

Too soon to make that call. That's months away.
