I have no idea how many because I posted up in the office and we put a plastic bowl of candy out around 6:00. It was empty when I checked just now, so I put a bit more and called it good. I will say this, though: from where I sit in the office, I can hear people walking up the front steps, and I only heard steps a few times. It may be the case that a few people came by and one of them dumped the whole bowl in their bag. I find myself not caring this year.

Wife and son went around the neighborhood with some neighbors and my son, as he is inclined to do, took only one piece of candy at each house and they only went to houses that were lit. He has 16 pieces of candy.

Democrats suck the fun out of absolutely everything they touch. Thanks for the lockdowns and the panic, assholes.

Fortunately, we live in the country and never get anyone but Fedex and UPS at our door.

We never get any kids although we’d like to. Have I become the scary old man on the block that everyone avoids?

No body. That might be the bad news. The good news is the wife bought a bunch of candy. Only the good stuff. Big Grin Now I've got to figure out who is to eat it all!

Yes, around 50 and the largest group was 8. All ages. Two high school age boys rang and one asked me if he could get more for being a Trump fan (I have a Trump sign), I asked for real and he said yes "major" - his friend rolled his eyes and chuckled out Biden. I gave them each a handful.

Looks like nobody. Not a lot of kids around here - my doorbell rang twice two years ago and once last year. There are 2 kids just next door, grade school age, but I guess they didn't get to go this year. Bummer for them.

Not a single one. Have usually had a child or two in past years. Most of them (not many on my street) are taken to parties now.

I suspected that might be the case, so I only bought candy that I like.

Not one trick or treater came by tonight. Anyone know what I can do with a couple pounds of candy Smile

Only two kids came by and I was hoping for more.

That was the bad news.

Good news is, I have around 30 pieces of Snickers bars to eat.

I have never had a trick-or-treater in my neighborhood.

We're not participants in the tradition. Our goal of zero remains intact. Turning off the light & closing the gate continues to work.

We had a couple hundred kids show up. Typical year is about 2000-3000 kids, so this year was much much less than typical.

No trick or treaters here last night. I guess I’ll have to figure out something else to do with this delicious candy. Wink

Way less than usual. We have a neighborhood parade for the kids before they start going door to door and it is also for adults and pets in costume which is fun. I think a lot of people did the parade but skipped door to door. Maybe 60-80 kids. I've got a lot of leftover candy going to the guys at work.

Never had one

We live in town on 10 acres, and we are on a highway.
