soul2share -> RE: Halloween Candy (10/21/2009 11:32:51 PM)
Every year, no matter where I've lived, I buy candy and get absolutely no onr! I end up taking it to work and leaving it there because I really can't have it, don't need it, and after eating some, I really don't want it....but I do buy the good stuff. In the urban areas I've lived in, most parents take their kids to sponsored parties, or to the malls to trick or treat. It's really sort of sad....I remember going throughout my entire village trick or treating......hitting EVERY house......it used to be like a 2 hour excursion, and you planned your route in order to stop by at home and get a new bag for your loot!

We don't get many trick or treaters. I just turn the lights out. I used to go all out and buy tons of candy. Plain chocolate for the um's. I would buy the popular candy and they loved it. Last year my neighbor said his doorbell rang only 2 times.. With safety issues any more i think parents take their um's to a party or the mall out here. We always hear of some sicko putting razor blades in the candy..

I will trade you. I do my grass with a weed wacker- a neighbor who I never identified- does my walk with out me even asking. I never even learned who it is so I can thank them.

I can handle nosy neighbors. Not a problem. In the various towns in the valley here- if you WANT trick or treators- then you leave the porch light on. If you do not want to be bothered- let the light off. So suppose you wanted to answer the door for 2 of the 4 allotted hours- just turn off the light and all know that the house is not participating. It has been this way for gosh- over 20 years...

I used to live in a subdivision that was a looooong dead end road. Church buses would pull up at the end of the street out and dump the kids and over a hundred would show up. I always thought : 1 Haloween trick or treating was supposed to be a "neighborhood thing" 2 Wasnt it ironic that the baptist churches around here would plan a big activity on the biggest pagan holiday of the year?

WE never really got much trick or treaters, even when my mom did believe in decorating putting on the porch light to signify this is a house that gives candy. Well actually I wouldn't know for a fact my bro and I would be out tricker treating, not at home, but there was always bunches of candy left over. After 9/11 the neighborhoods around here are pretty much dead. You used to see hoards of kids, and moms driving vans so the kids could walk door to door and then get in the car and go 3 blocks down to do it all over again. As for me and Daddy I hope not to be home halloween night, I hope to be off at some bdsm party getting a good bdsm work over, or busy with some sexy activity at home since a bdsm party is unlikely or gorging ourselves on movies, so no I don't want to be bothered or interrupted. Besides if there's candy in the house I want to eat it, not give it away lol. And we're in the garage, behind the house people probably wouldn't think to walk behind the cars to our door. Unless we put up signs, but I don't care to. quote: ORIGINAL: Aileen1968 Do you like giving out Halloween candy and what kind do you give out? Or do you turn out the lights and pretend that you're not home? Plus...do you buy your favorite or do you buy what you don't like so that you're not tempted to eat it yourself?

There have been years when I said "humbug", turned out my lights and watched tv in the dark while the little bastards knocked on my front door. Most years, however, I make it a practice to buy only good quality chocolate, like Snickers, Baby Ruths, Almond Joys (my faves), Paydays and Junior Mints, and lots of it, because if a nor'easter blows in on trick or treat night, I don't want to be left with a bunch of Skittles, Smarties (hate those damn things, lol), and Nerds. The best years are when I combine the two [:)]

I love Halloween. I give out loads of candy usually the kinds I don't like so not tempted to eat. I had neighbors who used to pretend not to be home but our neighborhood kids are quite smart. Their house got egged every year hehe

Toppingfrmbottom -> RE: Halloween Candy (10/23/2009 11:43:53 AM)
divi I think the kids should of just accepted that that particular house didn't want to participate in handing out candy and been mature enough to accept the fact. I think kids that egg or toilet paper or other wise harrase others houses give the good kids a bad rap. It's just like those people who thinks it's fun to go down a block with baseball bats and smash every one's mail boxes.
