Trick or Treat?
So a radio on my Facebook pointed out how it seems like there's barely any children out trick or treating.
Instead of bracing the weather and dressing warm, parents are taking their kids to the mall to trick or treat.
It's now 7:03 here and we've had 5 kids...
How many have y'all had ? :p
-
We left out candy on the front porch and walked our kids around. We only saw 2 other groups of kids (about 3 kids each group). Seems really slow this year :(
-
Well we live out in the booneys do we usually don't get a lot of kids
-
I live in Utah I've had about 50 and it's 710

Re: Trick or Treat?
We don't get trick or treaters around our house. Driveways are to long and too far apart, plus no street lights.

I know what you mean, my mom lives out in cow town and she has only got 2 trick or treaters in the past few years. (The neighbor's grandson, and the other neighbor's granddaughter lol)
We just moved to the neighborhood where I grew up back in April, not a lot of kids around any more, mostly older folks...At our hold house, suburb style, we had over 150 kids each year. It was crazy. :rolleye2:

Well I was really disappointed. This was our 1st year living in a "neighborhood" and we got maybe a dozen groups of kids. Most weren't even dressed up and were just using plastic grocery bags! Ugh! What happened to dressing up!? What about those traditional pumpkin pails!? I didn't even go through a whole bowl of candy and I was giving each kid 2 pieces! I was so excited too... :(

Re: Trick or Treat?
We had a lottttt of kiddos in our neighborhood. Like, seriously, a TON.

Someone posted on Facebook from home saying they had about 160 kids. That is seriously surprising, since there is usually a piddly amount.
When I was a kid was the time when people would get hundreds of kids at their door. But it seems like everyone from my neighborhood is my age now and there's a way less amoutn of younger kids.
-
I went trick or treating until about two years ago. And even then there were more kids
-
My neighborhood was dead, there were maybe 3 groups of 3 kids and i was very disappointed because i was walking my son around and in 6 square blocks there was a total of 12 houses handing out candy. Oh how i miss the good old days.

Haven't Gotton 1 kid, but it's only 7 here

It irritates me to no end when teens come trick or treating and their not dressed up. I give them 1 piece of candy. Dressing up, no matter the age, even if its just ragged cloths and ssome fake blood, gets you a handful. Little ones get 2 handfuls, even though I know they won't end up eating it...I just love seeing their eyes get huge and light up hehe.
My husband and I dress up every year as well when we walk the girls around. We don't try to get candy (we get enough from the girls lol) but it's fun! Halloween is my favorite holiday, dressing up is just way too awesome :)

I work at our mall, and we had "Mall-o-ween": where parents take their kids to the stores and we hand out candy. It seemed there was hardly any kids there, a lot less than last year. As for at the house, we don't give out candy :oops: There's hardly any treaters in our neighborhood anyway, I think most people go downtown to the fancier/richer houses.

I miss the days when I could trick or treat I grew up in a small town in northern mn so the adults would let the kids walk around till way late and we'd hit every house in town I loved it I member every kid in town would be out running around it was best night ever for a kid. I had to work tonight sadly but we hand out candy to the kids that come to the nursing home and we had like six kids come and I didn't see any when I was driving to work and home, I live in one of the biggest towns in mn now and like no kids walk around its kinda sad, at times I just wonder what's happening to kids now adays but I suppose different times then we all grew up in.

We decorate our yard like crazy so we get lots lol this year 243 kids within 3 hours :) and it seems like kids are trying to grow up too fast, my brothers and sister are 11 and 12 years old and none of them went....I on the other hand went until I was 17 lol
-
There were plenty of kids out where we were. But it did seem that way fewer houses were lit up and handing out candy. Don't know if people weren't home, weren't participating, or maybe times are just tough. My daughter still got about 4# more candy than she will ever get to eat, though. :D
