Really slow night tonight for candy, looks like the swine flu is keeping
folks at home...
We had 75 kids - not bad - about average.
Kids still Trick or Treat there? They really don't around here. You'll
see a few kids out in certain neighborhoods, or, parents will drive them
around to friends houses, but for the most part, it's a dying tradition
here.
Funny, though, I read somewhere we spend more money on Halloween than any
other holiday, except Christmas.
Of course, I stole all the Baby Ruth bars out of the goodie basket
before it was time to hand them out. It's my one weakness. :)
Well, we usually have a lot of kids here because a few of us in the
neighborhood put out displays and try to scare the kids back. Last few
years my dad handed out candy, of course this year he was only here in
spirit. Our neighborhood is loaded with kids and the side streets make
for good trick or treating, a lot of parents from the other side of town
usually bring their kids here too.
