I moved to a house (my first) recently and we bought full size chocolate bars and beef jerky sticks to give out (in case someone doesn’t want chocolate).
Not a single child came. I didn’t see or hear anyone under 20 the entire night. We all stayed out on the porch for hours.
The only chocolate bar we gave out was to the pizza lady.
Does nobody trick-or-treat? We have kids in the neighborhood. I see them rising bikes during the day.
How was everyone else’s Halloween?
Edit: We got one! Long after trick or treating hours were over, a little cowboy knocked on our door. I gave him like 5 candy bars and 2 jerky sticks. He was very happy. His dad stopped in a car and he got out to knock on our door. I reckon it had to do with the fake neon LED “trick or treat” sign we hung on the porch.
For us this is exactly it. My street is full of kids (I think my husband and I are the only ones without them) but the last few years neighborhood block parties several blocks down have become the thing and everyone, kids and adults go there. Lots of fun and we now go there too but it does make me sad that we don’t really get trick or treaters. My husbanded gave out pretty much the whole bowl to one group at the end of the night
