Tricks or Treats

[RandallS]

...as the Peanuts gang would say.



We had 103 trick-or-treaters this year. This is the most we'd had since I was in grade school in San Antonio. As I recall, we had high 30s or low 40s last year which we thought was a great turnout. I think the draw this year was the house down the street that always decorates big for Christmas -- they went all out for Halloween this year too.

Sweet! That's great to hear!

Kewl!! We had zero. Same amount we've had for about 10 yrs now. It's not that we don't have kids on the street, we have LOTS of them. They just take them into town to trick or treat.

That just sucks.

I'm not exactly sure how many kids we have in the neighborhood; guess it depends on the value for "neighborhood". There is an elementary school about two-three blocks away from my apartment building, so it's all in where they go. (It's only ten minutes to five here, and I'm not done with work yet.)

The city usually has some stuff in the downtown area, with a haunted house or two, and "safe" trick-or-treating (off the actual streets, I guess). I know the outer areas of Oahu have more people taking their kids around the neighborhoods; but we'll see what happens.

At least this time, I remembered to get some candy, just in case......

That's awful. We've had near zero (say under 10) a few times, but an actual zero regularly would truly suck.

Hooray! I've been home for an hour and a half, and we just got our first trick-or-treater!

I live in an apartment building now and we have controlled entry. The superintendents set up a 'trick or treat station' in the lobby. Residents are encouraged to contribute candy and spend some time there if they want, and the first trick or treaters were the kids from the daycare on the main floor. We are on a busy downtown corner so didn't get too much traffic, but enough that it was fun to watch on the security cameras. (I had other things going on, typical for that day for me, but I kept the t.v. on the lobby so I could watch in between stages) No idea how many kids there were, though.

We had zero, but we live way out of town now. The kids would have to come by car, and everyone around here goes into to town (which I know from when I lived in town here).

103... wow.
We had two, and they came together.

But the girls were really cute. When I asked them to open up the bags, the smaller girl pulled out a small freezer's bag and said: we share one.
I said 'wow you both are modest' and gave them double the amount of candy.
The most we ever had was about three parties with about ten children all together.

It is not that spread over here for the kids to go out to trick 'n treat.
But I really like it, if they do.
