We don't get any kids here either. To far out also.
I kind of miss the kids all dressed up.
I always tried to take my kids trick or treating. And we helped do the haunted house for the elementary school for years and I always took my kids on the haunted hay ride!
They all loved it and still go regularly.

We don't get any trick or treaters either. That's ok, since I usually go with DD, and grandkids to their church's trunk or treat.

Halloween used to be my favorite holiday as well. Had the cemetery, body parts, special lighting, fog machine, when my kids got older, they used to participate as well. animated rats, snakes, spiders and such. Always took it real easy on the itty bitties, but tried hard as I could to scare teenagers who were too old to be trick or treating anyway. Highlight of the evening was to have high school boys & girls run down the driveway screaming. I used to get a lot of kids come by... like upwards of $100 worth of candy.

Now, living out in the country on a county road, very long driveway, no comers. I don't decorate for any holiday here. Just me to do all the work putting it up then taking it down.

I do miss seeing the decor. We will put up the tree but that is likely all.

That's the best idea.
Here most of the candy/bars are gone before Halloween arrives. We got caught short one year when we used to get a couple of kids. Thankfully that happened to be the year they stopped coming. Whew!

Here too. By the day after Halloween the stores are full of Christmas stuff...Actually start switching over before halloween and start marking down halloween candy.

Like Diva, we get no trick or treaters. Due to living in the country where the driveways are far between and there are no streetlamps anywhere in the Village, it's scary even without the decorations! The Community Center has a big party for local kids on Halloween night.

Mom eschewed Halloween with a passion. Would try to be away/out to dinner or would turn out all the lights and hide upstairs. Hate to admit it, but I'm not keen on Halloween myself. Oh, gawd... I'm turning into my mother!

Is there a strong family resemblence too?

Maybe you Mom has a special mirror or something....

Hello Parront! I've believe I've seen you before, but it must've been on another thread/threads. It's nice to meet you! View attachment 1160980

HI! I am pretty new to BYC. I am on the Arizona thread, and some meat-eaters threads, some advice to people with egg-bound birds, more than here. But, I do have a rocker! And am retired, so here I am!
