In the early 80's our house had hundreds of kids at the door from 4pm - midnight. Our house was a decent candy house because dad loved seeing all the costumes. He always knew when kids were hitting the house multiple times, but he didn't care because it was part of the fun.
While he was doing that my siblings and I were out hauling in pillowcases full of enough candy to last until the next summer, or with Dad involved in the distribution, November. We would meet other kids and make new friends, trade favorites, and swap costumes to make the rounds again.
I haven't seen more than a couple kids a year for almost a decade. I live in a neighborhood with several schools and I see kids in the neighborhood year-round. I feel like they're missing out on a chance to be around a bunch of other neighborhood kids making friends.
Make Halloween great again.
