I took my daughter out and my buddy took his son out and we went together. Half of my street was unlight, so we had to walk the kids 1/2 km to a street that actually had some lights on. Barely saw any kids out and when we got home the wife said maybe 5-6 groups of kids showed up.

Damn kids get lazier every year I tell ya! I remember going out in a snow suit and a mask cause it snowed and still got two pillow cases. No dedication these days...tsk tsk.

Though I am happy my kid is only 3 years olds - we only had to go around a block and a half and she was ready to go home. She did say thank you - but it was usually before the people got to the door and she would say trick or treat once she left. She also didnt ring a single door bell, she just tried to open everyone's door instead.

maybe 30, lights went off when the kids started showing up taller than me (~8:45). At least this year they all had some type of costume.

I think more and more parents are taking their kids to the malls for Trick or Treat.

I kind of don't blame them.......... it's a safe enviroment and you don't have to contend with all the yahoo's with bottle rockets and fire crackers [some of those punks I'd like to punch in the face]

I remember when I was a kid....... we used to fill up a pillow case within a block......... with full size chocolate bars [hate to date myself]

I sound like my dad............. Halloween............. we never had that in China......... all we played with was sticks and stones......... and we liked it.

It's a shame but a fact of life.

Cheers,
Vic

I only had 5 kids show up at my house which is VERY odd as live about a block away from a k-4 school. Last time I put in the manson contacts though, I made a little girl cry .

My wife made me do the mall thing (INSANE) and then outside. I get the outside bit but the mall is so gay for halloween.

We had maybe 25 at our townhouse. I think kids were bypassing the complex.

My daughter has a nazi father and def said please and thank-you at every stop. Even the last 10 or so which I had to CARRY her too. The back is sore today.

We had about 20 kids. Had to work later in the night, so I thought we try something and left a stack of candy out with a sighn to help themselves but save some for others.

We were quite amused by the the result, we expected one kid to clean us out, but that didn't happen. More than anything, they were paranoid that someone was going to jump out on them, was funny as hell watching them looking over their shoulders.

I lost count, but I know it was over 400. This neighborhood always get lots of trick or treaters. The adult trick or treaters with pillow cases so full they can hardly carry it is what makes me upset. Sereral kids without any costumes and pillow cases full of candy too. About 50 /50 on the thank you's.
