Am I wrong for not giving out candy this year?

    Unfortunately the "lights off" thing doesn't seem to work very well in my neighborhood. When we run out of candy we turn off the lights and put a sign on the door, but there are always kids that still ring the doorbell. Usually teenagers that really should know better. Bahumbug!

    We once had a kid show up WITH HIS PARENTS at 11 p.m.

    WTH! But I still enjoy doing it.

    If you feel bad about it, you could always just get some candy, put it in a bowl or cauldron or something, and be that house with the "take one" sign. :P Kids will probably dump the whole thing in their bags eventually, but it'll keep you from being bothered. Once it's empty the rest of the trick or treaters will be disappointed but probably leave without even ringing.

    I'm just handing out gummy bears this year. Figure it should cut down on the number of kids I see next year.

    Just turn off your porch light and draw the dining room shades.

    I loved Halloween when I was a kid. And my kids loved trick or treating as well.
    I don't see any reason to stop giving out candy just because my kids are grown.

    Oh you guys!

    I went to Family Dollar and bought a bag of Smarties and Pixie Sticks. Worst comes to worst I will be out $2 and I can drop them off in the dining room of an adult care facility.
