I don't have any lights on visible from the front of my house. So far two groups of trick or treaters have knocked on my door (they couldn't even see the door bell button). Both times their parents were in a car out in front of the house. If I had some eggs I would have gone out my back door and egged the parents car from behind my stockade fence for sending their kids to darkened houses!

Last year there were only 5 or 6 small groups of kids actually from my neighborhood so decided to not hand out candy. Went out just after dark and got my mail and there were no neighborhood kids trick or treating, none. In fact, the two closest houses with kids the kids were out playing in their yard and had no intention of going trick or treating. Pepper and I went and asked. So I don't feel badly at all.

Sure is a lot different than when I was a kid. Even different from when I first moved here. I moved into this house on Halloween and gave away two huge bowls full of candy our first night here. And most of them were kids from this neighborhood.
