I have young adults, so no longer hand out candy anyway. Last night I noticed our neighborhood was unusually quiet. It might have been a combination of people staying home, fewer porch lights on and our area coordinating trick or treat times so there was no double dipping going to more than one town.

My high school senior missed trick or treat in first grade because she was in the hospital. She survived both her illness and the trauma of missing TOT for one year (but I did have to come up big in the candy area once she was released).

I don’t understand people who are so gung-ho about trick or treating that they are willing to put themselves and their children at risk for exposure. We all have enough risk as it is in daily life.

There must be some Halloween version of Scrooge - if so, I guess I’m it lol.
