Some people actually enjoy passing out candy and seeing the various of costumes that kids wear.

I think I did 1 year, wasn't a success. Not too many kids came. I ate the leftovers.

I rent a white cargo van for the night and put the candy in the back, I tell them to get in the van for candy. It feels good bringing happiness to children.

I do so all the time, and it's simply tradition. If everyone had the logic to not waste money on candy for trick-or-treaters when I was young, then Halloween would've sucked.

Many years ago when we lived in the suburbs of Minneapolis and got tons of trick or treaters we did. It was fun, seeing all the excited little kids in their costumes.

I live in a part of town where the houses are fairly spaced apart and there aren't any sidewalks, so we get maybe 3 trick-or-treaters on Halloween.

I've been giving out candy since I got my own place. I got lots of candy as a kid, I figure I have to return the favor to other kids.

We got a surprising amount of kids tonight given it's a retirement area. I suspect neighborhood hopping. Oh well, as long as I find that my truck hasn't been keyed or something it's all good. :P

Why do we spend hundreds on presents for Christmas when each person could take that money and spend it on themselves for something they actually want?

Yeah, I remember when I outgrew trick or treating but my sister was still young enough that my parents had to go out with her. So I got stuck handing out candy one year. I had fun with it though... i set up a strobe light and put on a generic ghost face costume and scared kids.

It's like $10 for the big bag. I guess you'll spend more if you're in a really big neighborhood. It's pennies compared to what people waste throughout the year and it gives children joy.

Yeah I have and I don't mind it if its kid coming to the door for candy. But then I started noticing a lot of adults were ringing the door as well. And these weren't parents of kids, they were grown men not even from my neighborhood who were carpooling together from neighborhood to neighborhood. To top it off a lot of them weren't even wearing constumes, just plain old regular clothes. I'm not giving anybody 25+ years old candy if they ring my doorbell.

So nowadays if I'm home on Halloween I'll pass out some candy right at dusk when the young trick or treaters are out. And then just turn off the lights later in the night and act like I'm not home when I start seeing random cars showing up in the neighborhood.
