Me and my forty-something buddies all dressed up (one cowboy and Indian couple, a Disco Elvis, a Roman Warrior, a male witch, and a guy in a dress and wig to look like the church-lady from SNL) and rode our bikes around greenways and neighborhoods in Cary. We knocked on one familiar (biking friend) door, and got a few twizzlers and a shot of Vodka each.
Rode back to another friends house, ordered pizza and handed out candy to probably 30-40 kids.
Yes, it was nothing like my childhood, where the streets were packed, and everyone was out. I think those days are a thing of the past.
We haven't had kids in our neighborhood in several years. Now that my kids are grown, I always forget about it. My father-in-law died suddenly Wednesday, so we were at their house. We sent my son to the store to get candy in case anyone showed up. I think the doorbell rang twice. It was a nice distraction from everything else going on. Ironically, this is the first year my inlaws did not plan their big Halloween party. Guess he really wanted one!
Very busy in this neighborhood, but we are in a new section all the way in the back so I think most people didn't bother coming back here. I ended up emptying $80 worth of candy into about 10 kids' bags. They were thrilled and I'm happy to not have all those leftovers here!
ETA: I don't care how old the kids are as long as they are in costume.
Apparently there was a halloween open house in my neighborhood and most of the kids went there. That caused someone on my listserve to tell off the unknown person who had the party. Drama...
