I have to say it - I love TOT!

I understand those who have had issues with vandalism, excessive partiers, etc. in their neighborhoods. Boo to that for ruining it for others. I get it.

As for teens- please folks there are so few things now where teens can just have good clean fun. What does it hurt if they TOT? Unless they engage in bad behavior, they aren’t taking anything away from the younger kids. This year especially. The high school kids here have no fall sports, no homecoming, no school activities etc.

As for costumes - H and I were discussing TOT, which we both loved as kids. But…he admitted he NEVER liked wearing a costume. It just isn’t him. When a teen shows up at my door in jeans and a hoodie - so what?

As for kids being driven into the neighborhood - how about being grateful for living in the kind of neighborhood people drive into, not out of? Folks in my neighborhood grumble about this every year but I like to point out that there are neighborhoods near ours which are not as fortunate. They might be unsafe or people there may not be able to afford to give out treats. I will not begrudge the kids who live there a candy bar. Please.
