Halloween Land Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 What's everyone's Halloween plans this year? Halloween is on a Saturday this year which is cool for parties but with Covid it changes things. Will you have your kids trick-or-trick? Will you still be handing out candy? Quote

F.W. Cyclone Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Probably nothing because my 2 kids are all grown up and my grandsons live elsewhere. Quote
buffaloboyinATL Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Handing out full size candy bars to any kids brave enough to ignore a pandemic and come to my door for candy. 🎃 1 Quote
WEATHER DOT COM Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Handing out candy and drinking beer on the porch 1 Quote

Except the wife always gets the snack sized bars. Pretty sure she does that to keep me from scarfing it all myself. She knows I have no self control. 😜 1 Quote
Rc2catch Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 We are taking the kid out in the neighborhood trick or treating. She decided to be scary this year. 3 Quote
4_kidd_4 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 I live on a dark, semi-rural road with no sidewalks. And in our 40’s we are somehow the youngest people in our immediate neighborhood. There are literally no children around to trick-or-treat. We don’t have kids either. I mean we’re gonna buy candy anyways. And eat it ourselves. 1 Quote

She said it is so she doesn't eat em all, but I am sure it is really me. That being said, I am making the executive decision this year and buying them myself. I also hand out beer and cocktails to any needy parents walking around with their kids. 1 1 Quote

LewPort71 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Grandson is dressing as the grim reaper. Our neighborhood has 100 houses so it is a gold mine for out of area kids to be dropped off and pillage the streets for the 2 hours that are scheduled. Many communities around have canceled so Mrs. Lew and I estimate we will have 300. Quote
gomper Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Buying candy for the brave few that show up and give them 3x the normal amount. Quote
shrader Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 We are having a small 40th birthday party for a neighbor hidden in a backyard around a fire pit. Each kid there will get a full size candy bar. 1 Quote

My son is 17, so that's a non-issue. I've decided that I'm not giving out candy. 1 Quote

She knows I have no self control. 😜 My wife makes me take it all to the park the next day and give it away to the tennis crowd so SHE doesn’t eat it all. I’m not so sure I want a steady stream of strangers coming to the house this year. It just does not seem wise for anybody, us or them. We went to an outdoor place with friends for Mexican food last night. The wife had a single margarita with her meal (she’s very much a self described light weight). During the night she developed a nasty headache, then started getting very achy. Could have been what she ingested with the headache, but no explanation for the 101 degree fever that popped up. She went out around 6:00 am to get tested, still pending. We’re not at all freaked about it, but I think the kiddos can skip a Halloween and all that crap they shouldn’t eat anyway given the circumstances. Call me a party pooper, I can live with that. Probably leave a bucket of the good stuff on the front porch and count on them being supervised and responsible. Last time we did that they even stole the bucket! 13 minutes ago, Gugny said: My son is 17, so that's a non-issue. I've decided that I'm not giving out candy. I hate it when the kids who are WAY TOO OLD show up expecting something for nothing. They don’t even bother with costumes most of the time. 1 Quote

It really sucks but I think our porch light won't be on this year it's just a very bad idea during a pandemic. 2 1 Quote
