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.

65 kids here.

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.

I don't know. I remember when I was a kid there was a huge trailer park up the street: easy pickings. We'd wear one mask and leave another in our trick-or-treat bag. Make the rounds with one mask and then change to the other and fill our bags in no time.
