Around our neighborhood we've all decided to be "Bah, Humbug" type of folks. Around here for blocks almost no one leaves the lights on during beggar's night.
After having masses of kids dumped from big vans into the middle of crossroads, and having so many of them show up at once that we can NOT, LITERALLY see the lawn, and having to look UP at the beggars instead of down at 3 or 4 cute little guys, we decided we would donate to the local Boys and Girls' club here in town. And any extra bags of candy we had for our own families are going today or tomorrow to local nursing homes.
