Another successful Halloween in the books. Happy kids loved the decorations and treats we gave out, wife made a deep dish pizza, watched classic Frankenstein, bride of Frankenstein, and the wolfman. I hope most had a nice evening too!

Another successful Halloween in the books.  For the 28th or so year in a row, no kids bothered walking the full length of our driveway and the single bag of candy we bought remains in the pantry closet only 1/3 eaten.  The 1st couple of years living here we bought several bags of candy and ended up eating every single piece as we've never had a single trick or treater.  After that it was 2 bags of candy for a long time and then 5-10 years ago dropped to a single bag.

Haven't even bothered with carving pumpkins since the kids graduated HS.

Lamented to the wife how it used to be a special day and now it's just another ho-hum one.  Wonder if the bars are still full of women dressed like hookers.  (Angels, fairies, bunnies, nurses, whatever; they all looked ready for business.)  That's the thing about that night that's truly missed.  😉

I live in a 3 story townhouse. My street has a ton of houses in short walking distance, but I guess having to walk up all those stairs (especially for the very little kids) is off-putting enough that I rarely get trick or treaters. So I never bother. I did buy a bag for myself though.
