(About half do more.) We get 60 - 70 children, usually.<BR/><BR/>I've heard of "trunk-or-treats", but only from American bloggers, and it seems to me (though this could be entirely wrong) that they're more common the further south you go. Are those completely false perceptions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19745933.post-89787948998747861982008-11-04T14:22:00.000-07:002008-11-04T14:22:00.000-07:00I think Halloween festivities are different from n...I think Halloween festivities are different from neighborhood to neighborhood. We live where there are a lot of kids and about a quarter of the houses decorate -- but most of them give out candy. We had a fair turnout of trick-or-treaters come to our door. But a friend in the next town over (basically the same town, really) said he had about a thousand kids! His door never stopped ringing.<BR/><BR/>I like going to places like stores and malls for Halloween, though, in addition to visiting the houses of neighbors we know. We got some great things from Whole Foods this year!Damselflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139191935886860839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19745933.post-89706399948862922962008-11-02T21:33:00.000-07:002008-11-02T21:33:00.000-07:00There were also a lot of dark houses in our neighb...There were also a lot of dark houses in our neighborhood, but this is our first Halloween here, so I don't know if that is usual. I did enjoy talking to the neighbors we did see, so I wish more had been around!Lady Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13360693450146358247noreply@blogger.com
