Where we live now I do not give out candy; I turn off my lights and do not decorate. It is not what it used to be when I was a kid, they don't even say thank you anymore; and I too do not like opening the door to strangers. When we finish building next year it will not be an issue as there are only 4 houses on the entire road and I certainly don't want strange cars driving up and down our narrow 1/4 mile driveway.
