I don't really like Halloween either. I have not passed out candy in the last couple of years. I live alone and although I live in a safe neighborhood, I don't want to open the door to just anyone. I especially hated it when I opened the door and it was teenagers bigger than me. In our area, a lot of the churches do Fall Festivals and the schools will do something similar. I don't mind that part at all. Most of the younger children go out before dark and usually quit by about 7 pm. I like to see the cute little kids in their costumes but don't like the scary ones. I don't like the real meaning of Halloween. So lights out at my house tonite!! My DGC will only visit their neighbors in their small subdivision and then the candy will be checked and a lot put up for later times.
