After 25 years of not a single Trick or Treater....

[Mrs. Robinson]

we finally got 2! Not sure if they count since we know them pretty well.....

 

[Marie5656]

Have not had any in years. To be honest, we do not even turn the lights on any more. When I first moved here there were many more children in the neighborhood, now not as many.

AWWWW, what a great picture!!!!!

 

[Butterfly]

I never get any, either. I think most parents around here are having their kids do alternate things rather than trick or treat, like a party or something.

 

[Pappy]

None in our little community either, Mrs. Robinson. We've had one in 17 years, the neighbors grand kid.

 

[QuickSilver]

We get about a dozen or so every year.. but we always buy way too much candy.. and we buy the stuff WE like... soooooooooooooooooo

Because we live on a cul de sac and it's in a very child-safe neighborhood, kids arrive by the carload from different part of the city. We finally tired of giving out hundreds of pieces of candy and several years ago, abandoned the house on Halloween. Now we go out for a nice dinner. Last night it was a great Italian dinner, topped off by a pumpkin ricotta cheesecake for dessert. Got home after the streets had cleared.

Neighbor said last year she gave out 750 pieces of candy!

a pumpkin ricotta cheesecake for dessert

That sounds awesome!

I don't know about our neighborhood because we always leave before night fall but the towns around here were jumping last night. We go to best buddy's area where they turn it into a block party. Oh and we saw Daisy the deer's husband as we pulled out. Another community project...everyone puts out food or water for the deer.

Little cuties! I'd leave them in too!

Not sure how many kids were here but I went through a good bit of candy. I live on a cul de sac and there is a fresh crop of little ones around the bend. Have a few munchkins on my street too. They all came around 7 and within a half hour 45 min they were done. Parents always accompany the smaller ones.

 

[Buckeye]

Mrs. Robinson, I think you win the Grand Prize. Cuties!

 

[debbie in seattle]

We get one a year, the same little girl next door. My husband buys what he likes and eats the rest.

 

[Aunt Bea]

Great picture!!!

I hope you get at least 2 every year from now on!

I live in a security building so no trick or treaters. The first couple of years that I lived here I kept a small bowl filled with quarters, just in case.

 

[Ruthanne]

They are such little cuties!!

I would like to pass out candy but don't live in a house. Live in a security building.

 

[Victor Meldrew]

I've lived in my house for 17 years and have never had one ToTr knock on my door.

Where I live, the minimum lot size is 1 acre. Most are about 1.3 to1.5 acres. That's a lot of walking for little kids. So, it's just a few neighbors and some nearby relatives, via the car.
