How many trick or treaters did you get?

We had a grand total of 2 trick or treaters last night. Went out and bought about 5 bags of candy to pass out, and then 2 kids showed up about 7 PM and not a single one after that. Guess I'll be eating all the candy now.

We got exactly zero. It was kind of a bust this year because the neighborhood we usually go to had no electric since Saturday (still don't).

Well, I think it's a good idea you don't give children candy.   Although, I'm not buying the Christian card as a reason.  Back when people thought that way they also thought that anyone that was mentally ill was possessed.   We have evolved a bit since those days I think.   Oh, I  hate to burst your bubble Rudy but, ..... there are no monsters under your bed or in your closet.

I bought 8 big bags,   gave away most of 5 bags.

Left 3 bags unopened.    She wants me to return it to the store...  um... yeah ... sure.    I left it for her to take back.  


Last year I had 10 bags and opened them all,  but still had a lot left so I cut down this year.  

I guess trudging thru the snow doesn't exactly put kids in the mood to T&T.

Brian, just hang onto the extra bags & give it to Troy at Carlisle next year so he can hand out candy with t-shirt orders. Just remember to put it in the cooler with the beer so it doesn't end up as melted brown lumps in a wrapper.  

The more likely scenario is that I pig out on it for the next few weeks.   

Actually took 3 bags  back to sam's.   $32.77 back to me.

i say to each their own. i was brought up in a christian church. we had trick or treat parties or halloween parties at the church. our church even made floats for the halloween parade in town. that was in the 60's still today, the churches have trunk or treat where all the kids in town go. i set up a hay wagon for all my grandkids to go out on with their parents while i stay at home and hand out candy to all the local monsters. heck, i dont see nothing wrong with any of that. im still a christian. anyone that believes it isnt for them, thats fine. go with that thought. i dont see a problem with it.

We live out in the sticks so no kids stop through our place but we take candy to a local business that then distributes it to houses on the Town Green so that they don't get stuck with the whole candy bill for the town. Individual on the green said they had 282 kids before they ran out.

They actually postponed Halloween in my town due to the storm. It was rescheduled to Saturday night, 6-8. We'll see how it affects the number of trick or treaters- we usually get 40-50 kids in my neighborhood.

is there a scripture in the bible about celebrating the pagan day!

OK Rudy, what the hell do you think is really going to happen to you or any children participating in Halloween.   Really think.  I bet you've done far worse things in your life than knocking on a door and saying trick or treat.
