Okay......this is a thread mostly for those here in the US...unless another country celebrates?

October 31 is Halloween. Kids (and older kids) dress up in costumes, and badger their neighbors for candy. They come with bags, ranging from grocery store plastic ones to fancy homemade ones....or the more optimistic use pillow cases!!!

Many people decorate their houses in orange lights, put up fake graveyards, the decorations can get quite elaborate, depending on if you have kids, and your own sense of the holiday.

If you don't want to be bothered, you just leave your porch lights off, and they don't come to your door...its an unspoken rule.

What do you do ?

Do you leave town?

Play the scrooge and turn your lights off?

Make it a neighborhood celebration greet the kids out front as they come by, talking inbetween groups? (Thats what my street does......)

Do you give out the "good" candy or the cheapie stuff?

(I buy the stuff we love and hope there are leftovers!!!)
