Call me Scrooge. My wife and I have made Halloween a date night. Last night was trick or treat in our town due to nasty weather forecast tonight.
We got to having up to 300 or so kids due to our house being in one of the nicer areas of town. When it got to 300, we decided nothing was forcing us to participate. Last night our next door neighbors had 900 or more truck or treaters. As we tried to come home about 8:30, our street was blocked with parked vehicles PLUS we met folks on horses in a neighbor’s yard. We’ve had enough. Bah Humbug.

Like "G" said Country living does have its benefits. I had 4 trick or treaters last night and they were my Great Grandkids. :highfive
I guess the kids are scared to come here? I do not live in the high rent district and we don't get much traffic through here to start with. I do live farther off the road, so maybe that keeps some away. I'll bet we haven't had a total of 20 trick or treaters come by in the last 4 years.
I don't mind.

Dang y'all rough. I used to load a cooler full of drinks for my kids and parents on a wagon and we took off and probably walked about 10 miles total. All those kids and parents talk highly of those times to this day. That was about 12 - 17 years ago. I am happy for every kid that comes by enjoying the time and not in trouble in our world today.

T or T in my neighborhood was also last night due to weather forecast. Sorry kiddo's it was date night for us also. 42nd wedding anniversary comes before Halloween anytime !! Yep we got married on the 30th, but that's another story.
We usually turn the lights out and pretend nobody’s home....lol. Actually though we haven’t had anybody stop here since living here and that’s 11 years now. Hmmm, just jinxed myself and I don’t think we have any candy to give out..:yikes:witching
Understand how you feel. They truck into our neighborhood. Most of them are good; but we have had some property damage done by teenagers supposedly out trick or treating.
900 kids?Quote:

We just had our first t or t. My SIL and he got a couple of Reese’s cups from the wife’s stash. He’s 40. No costume. Mostly retired around me, we miss the tiny ones and their costumes.
Happy Halloween to you and Sylvia. Hope you get enough to enjoy.
The PT nurse who worked with me this morning lives less than a mile from us. She, her husband and 4 small kids were out in our neighborhood right before dark. She said traffic was so bad they felt threatened and tried to get back home. It took them an hour. She said there are now social media sites that roadmap the best areas to trick or treat. Our street is ground zero. When we built here 24 years ago most existing homes were similar value to ours. Homes built since have values up to twice of ours. I miss living just over the hill from Jonathan Creek but when that house burned my family voted 3-1 to move to town. Guess who voted no.

We had about 100-105 kids last night. Last night due to the forecast for this evening. 20-25 yrs ago we would have 300 or more, as we were in one of the few neighborhoods out in a rural area. People would load 12 or more kids into vans, or even an old school or church bus full and stop by this neighborhood. I will admit that that got old. I can deal with a hundred or so.
I live in a trailer park that has about thirty kids of all ages. There are actually about three different loops in the park. Living on the back of the last one, we don't get any trick or treaters of any age. My first year here so I went out and bought some candy to hand out. Well I now have a twenty dollar bag of candy I'm not suppose to eat. Oh well. Better to have and not need it than to need it and not have it.
