No comment. I made my opinion known in another thread.
We got a neighborhood email stating that this year, the children would be starting at the top of the hill and to state whether you wanted to be visited/leave your light on. We shut the lights and went out for Mexican food!
There's a growing number of kids in my neighborhood, but we don't really see them much. Except for when I get behind the school bus when I am leaving for work and the parents seem to think it's OK to have long conversations with the driver while I am patiently waiting behind the bus.
The last year in our old house we gave out 12 bags of candy. It was one of those neighborhoods that people took their kids to because it was safe and flat. I didn't mind it, but I have been done with Halloween for a long time. Adults dressing up is wrong on so many levels, and asking for candy, well, what's wrong with them?
