The question in my head today is, do kids go door to door anymore to trick or treat? When I was single, I can only remember a handful of kids that knocked on my door. And that is over a ten year period.
Now, I do have to take into account, that in that time I spent many a Halloween working either graveyard or swing shift. So I was either sleeping or working most Halloweens when the kids would be out. But, in the time that I have been working an 8-5 job I only see about 2-3 kids each year.
And each year the downtown businesses do a big trick or treating thing, the malls do a trick or treating thing, and a few other businesses have special trick or treating events. Not to mention the churches that do the "trunk or treating".
So, with this being the first year I'm taking my child out I have to decide. Will we go door to door? or will we simply do a few events and go home?
Honestly. Probably the events and go home. For one, most of those are on the Saturday before Halloween, and I don't have time to get home from work, get everyone ready, get dinner on the table and get trick or treating in before bath and bedtime. I can barely get dinner on the table before bath and bedtime. Lets not add in the Halloween sugar addiction.
So tell me, do you trick or treat door to door?
