    The little ghouls and goblins are coming tonight. As luck would have it, I had OS@D at a Mars/Wrigley DC. Two case of M@M's. I got to keep them. The little monsters are going to showered with treats.

    When I was a kid, we lived in a very rural area where there weren't my kids coming by. For some reason, one year there were more trick or treaters than dad was expecting. We ran out of candy and he made peanut butter and jelly sammiches for the kids. I never asked, but I kinda think they liked them.

    Now a days, many trick or treaters only stop by a home that is decorated and outside lights are on. Many just don’t participate anymore.
     
    bzinger and FearTheCorn Thank this.

    but thats been true for 30 years.

    Frequency of visitors has to do with neighborhood density and enough young familys to have the kids. Many areas have a homogenous homeowner age demographic, and by virtue of being a homeowner, it further segregates you by income and neighborhood.

    We didn't get any kids this year. And my wife hid the candy somewhere that I can't find it. Lol
