However, relatives and friends tell me that in their neighborhood, they had quite a few.

In 13 years, I've had maybe a dozen.

However, now we're back to tons of little kids in the neighborhood although some parents don't bring them door to door.

I hope some civic organizations help they with all the treats. It is fun to see the little ones enjoying themselves, and I have gone to take their pics a few times. I Love your photo of the skeleton and other decorations...well done!!Barbara Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351113054045427775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-84422385191055792252021-10-31T10:45:07.274-04:002021-10-31T10:45:07.274-04:00Technical challenge met and exceeded!

With our name on, so they know it is safe candy. <br />This year I have one small, cute pumpkins.<br />I think you are right to duck. Our kids and grandkids were only sent to their own neighbourhood or, in the case of the grandkids, to one friend's neighbourhood if they chose - a lot of their friends were bussed in to the French Language school they all attended.MARY Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178370815712313585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-13472490075606690512021-10-31T10:31:52.385-04:002021-10-31T10:31:52.385-04:00Our grandchildren have grown and we no longer head...Our grandchildren have grown and we no longer head up to their neighborhood to help. No one ever comes to our house for Halloween. I agree with you that is should be a neighborhood activity that includes a bit of socializing.

When we first moved here, 300 kids from surrounding areas invaded the neighbourhood. Not so much now. We didn’t participate in the treating last year because of Covid. We are back this year and waiting for the grandkids to visit.Marie Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882722634065183364noreply@blogger.com
