Thread: Question of the day - October 30th!

    Question of the day - October 30th!

    Sorry it's late.

    Do you go trick-or-treating or pass out candy for Halloween? I don't do either since I am too old
    (24) and my dogs would eat the trick-or-treaters...

    But I will be spending my day tomorrow at the animal shelter.

    I'll be passing out treats, for both children and any doggie trick-or-treaters! I usually also dress up, or at least wear a mask!

    I don't expect many kids, but I have plenty of candy if any do show up. I dressed up for a party at work today but I don't expect to do it any more

    I do not trick-or-treat. Never have even as a child (we lived in the country). But now that I live in town I get to hand out candy. But have way too much candy. We usually only get around 10 kids. I bought two bags of candy but didn't tell Bruce because he'd want to eat it. Then he went out and bought a big bag too!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I've dressed up when I was little and trick-or-treated. This year we're taking my little brother and niece trick-or-treat. It should be fun We bought some candy to hand out if we get any trick-or-treaters but we usually don't get many. I think last year we got like 5 or 6 kids...so..

    I love to pass out candy ( I like to pre-sample everything too) If the weather is nice, hubby and I sit outside on the porch in our rocking chairs. I usually pull the cat tree in frontt of the door inside so the kitties can watch what all is going on and will not be scared by the door bell. I think this I like it.

    We'll take our kids to a few places, and we have candy at home, but never decide whether to turn our light on until the last minute.

    No on both accounts this year (at my house). Going out with the grandkids in their housing complex as well as giving out goodies. This will be the first time EVER that I'm not home.

    I usually go trick-or-treating, but I am in Fright Fest this year, not to mention I am getting a little old lol. I'll be scaring the crap out of people this halloween while getting paid $8.60 an hour to do it

    I used to go all out for trick or treat, decorated, dressed up, etc. Then the town I live in increased the time for trick or treating. Too many kids now, coming in by the carload. Too much stress for my furkids and for a longer period of time. I miss it. I believe this year they changed the time back to a shorter period. Now I hide in the dark and eat candy while it's going on.

    Our trick-or-treaters have been dwindling over the years. I have been winding up with LOTS of leftover candy which I eat (hey I don't want to waste it ). This year I just made up my mind not to participate and I put a note on the door "Sorry no candy - Have a happy halloween anyway." Normally by now I would have had a few knocks but this year there is nothing but sweet silence (no dogs warning me that we are being invaded by strangely dressed people.)

    I live in the country - with no trick or treaters coming here. I always used to buy a small bag of candy bars - just in case. I don't even do that anymore.

    No, I'm too old to trick or treat but I used to when I was much younger. It was back in the 70's when things were a lot safer and we knew most of our neighbors too. I really enjoyed it.

    I didn't buy any candy because I rarely get any trick or treaters. I live in a security building in a condo complex and there are very few children that live here. If I bought candy, I'd end up eating it all myself. My parents usually have some left over and my Mom will usually give me some of it.

    I'll probably be watching some scary movies on t.v. tonight with my cats.

    I don't have any trick-or-treaters in my building, so I went to my mom and dad's and answered the door for awhile. The strangest thing was opening the door and having the kids not say anything (elementary school age kids). I just wished them a happy Halloween and put a treat in their sacks.
