Halloween..who is at your door?

I remember a friend in high school begging me to go trick or treating with her when we were in the 10th grade, and I begged off. Much like believing in Santa, you age out of Halloween.

We used to live in a historical district and had zero trick-or-treaters. Now we live in a little nicer subdivision. We have more like 500 to 1,000 trick-or-treaters. I don't even know if some of the kids are neighbors because I never see them out - it's a drive-in-your-garage-and-close-the-door sort of place.

We have a blast giving out candy. I've got 10 HUGE bags this year and I don't think it's going to be enough. It's really cold, though, so I'm thinking a lot of the smaller kids won't come out.

I don't mind teen-agers who dress up - they usually wear pretty clever costumes and are polite. It's the ones who don't say a word and just pull out the bottom of their sweatshirt to receive their candy...then show back up in 20 minutes for another hit.

For them, I need the remote-controlled trapdoor in the sidewalk.

I live in an apartment and I've never seen any kids trick or treating at any of the complexes near me. My first year in this apartment, I bought quite a bit of candy, and nobody came by.

In our apartment complex, the office requires/gives out a common HALLOWEEN THEMED piece of paper for front doors of apartment-dwellers wishing to give treats.

I place a "Trick-or-Treaters This Way" arrow near the elevator doors pointing toward our apartment so they find us. A tiny pumpkin outside our door helps, too.

It doesn't hurt that our treats are small, holiday-decorated envelopes containing a new quarter; word gets around fast to each building and we get lots of kids each year.
