We do candy every year. We always dress our dogs up in dumb costumes to help us answer the door and it's a big hit. I have a pet gate set up to protect the little kids from our feisty mongrels.

Why would that irk you? Are you against kids that are poor having a good Halloween? I enjoy the imports as much as the neighborhood kids. I usually give them extra because I know that they do not get much the rest of the year. Giving them some good quality candy does not cost me much and I am sure they will really enjoy it.

Last year I bought a two bags of candy---Snickers, Nestle's Crunch and had 5 kids show up at my door. After I turned out the light, I knew I was in trouble and decided to load it up and brought to work. I don't need the extra sugar.
I know going door to door has become something passe and dangerous these days, but do you guys still turn on the porch light on October 31st?
Passe?..are you kidding me?
When did THAT happen?
We get inundated..and nowadays the kids travel in groups of 10 to 20.
..a steady stream of kids around here.

Because it is a shake down by greedy parents from outside my area.
You are presupposing I don't have any poor kids as neighbors, which I do, some are even of Mexican Heritage, which is OK by me, because they are my friends and neighbors.

Chronos get it right, it is rubbers and cigerettes.

I really really enjoy Halloween and the trick or treaters, no matter where they "come from." Being in a new to me home on a busy corner, I probably won't have anything this year here, but 4 blocks away at my "old" next door neighbor's home, we'll have chili, beer and lots of treats for kids of all kinds while we sit on the patio. If it's not snowing.. LOL... Oh yeah, Halloween, here we come!

Some years it's 10 kids, some years it's 40. All have parents lurking nearby or older siblings accompanying ( not expecting candy, but I give it to them ) the little ones to the door.
Always buy mini or Fun Size Snickers, 'cause I like them. Leftovers never make it to Thanksgiving...... ;)
Porch light goes off before 8:30.
In the way of a costume, I will wear my Halloween hair bow & earrings.
If a crucial play is going on, Trick-or-Treaters will have to wait......and they better don't make me miss a Rangers home run !!!!!

Don't hand out candy anymore. Just shot glasses and pre-owned lottery tickets.

If I was going to bet, I would say no trick or treaters at my house.

ewwww.. poor kids... LOL
why not just donate the Christmas candy to a food bank and keep your lights off on Halloween if you're not into it? ?

In fact, Beezer made a comment about the game last night. Right after a Giants touchdown, she belched.

No one comes to our house anymore. We have a sign that says:
Ignore the dog.
Beware of the owner!
