When DH and I moved to this suburb 16 years ago, we annually went through mega $ of candy, all to kids we've never seen before. They trample the landscapng instead of walking on the sidewalk, and don't even say thanks like they mean it. We also eat too much candy because we have it around the house.

The last few years we take treats to the immediate next door kids the day before. On Halloween we go directly to the gym from work, have a good workout, shower, and out for supper & shopping, then home after the munchkins are home in bed. Halloween grinches, we are.
