I live in the neighborhood that I grew up in and of course, went trick or treating in. I remember how exciting it was me and love sharing that with my two boys. I notice each year there is a very big difference in the number of houses that participate now compared to when I was young. It stinks that so many people who are home just turn their lights off. Even before I had kids of my own, I gave out candy. Why is it that so many people are so self absorbed that they can’t give out a little candy to make the kids happy like people I’m sure did for them? Cheap jerkoffs!
I do however; agree that the kids/teenagers that are not in costume should not get candy, which is why I keep a bag of cheap bubble gum for them. I don’t punish everyone because of a few. We have a lot of really cute kids in our area and it’s a lot of fun to see them all dressed up.
