Trick or Treaters

How many do you all get? Anyone remember the Raymond Halloween episode? (Hubbs asks that question).

My HOA doesn't allow them. Private home parties ONLY, by invitation.

I live on a popular street and we get a couple of hundred little trick or treaters. I love Halloween and I pick up candy each time I go to the store so I have plenty.

There doesn't seem to be all that many kids in our area anymore. I stopped giving out candy probably 10 years ago. I would buy it and only get maybe 10-20 and we'd be stuck with all this candy. I would end up taking it to our work for the moochers there. So now I don't even bother. There are many activities in the area for the kids so many parents just take them there I guess.

I live in an HOA but there is no provision not allowing Trick or Treaters. My neighborhood is not an over 50 community but it is a small neighborhood with almost no children. I would love to see Trick or Treaters but we have none. The neighborhood that I moved from had lots of little Trick or Treaters and a few older kids. It was a fun time. No one missbehaved and they almost all said thank you.

When I was a kid and my children were young Halloween was the best night of the year. It's a shame today's kids are missing out on this fun. And no getting candy out of a trunk in a parking lot is not the same.

We get between 70 and 90 each year. I love Halloween and give out full sized candy bars. Our community is surrounded by apartment buildings that don't allow trick or treating, so some of their residents come to us. I love it!

@Group 5 minus 1 We don't get many in my development, but my brother and sister-in-law live two streets over from me and got 1100 kids last year!!!

Yep, you read it right...1100!

The first year they moved in they weren't expecting that many trick-or-treaters.

They were running out of candy and my sister-in-law had to calll my niece and nephew to come home with their candy so they could re-distribute to the masses!!!

Now she starts stockpiling candy in September for the big night!
