I moved to a house (my first) recently and we bought full size chocolate bars and beef jerky sticks to give out (in case someone doesn’t want chocolate).
Not a single child came. I didn’t see or hear anyone under 20 the entire night. We all stayed out on the porch for hours.
The only chocolate bar we gave out was to the pizza lady.
Does nobody trick-or-treat? We have kids in the neighborhood. I see them rising bikes during the day.
How was everyone else’s Halloween?
Edit: We got one! Long after trick or treating hours were over, a little cowboy knocked on our door. I gave him like 5 candy bars and 2 jerky sticks. He was very happy. His dad stopped in a car and he got out to knock on our door. I reckon it had to do with the fake neon LED “trick or treat” sign we hung on the porch.
That’s a bummer but at least you made that one cowboy’s night!!
My first year at my current place I went to work in costume with full face makeup (Jack Nicholson’s Joker). I came home a little after dark and waited with my bowl for about an hour and a half; but at that point the makeup was getting itchy and I was done with it. Got in the shower and within maybe 3 minutes the doorbell rang! Then it rang again a couple minutes later while I was still in there! Nobody has come by for candy since then and it’s been several years.
