We had 14 this year. Had 5 of them in the house for an hour chit-chatting.
All kids from the bus, which I no longer drive. A couple of hugs too, because they miss Mr. Scott.

I get hit by about every kid in town. It's fun, and one of my favorite nights of the year.

In the twelve years I've lived here, I haven't had one. Probably because I don't put any decorations for it out. Not to mention, I'm known to have scary looking dogs, and my entire property is surrounded by a fence with a locked gate. Little hints like that let them know I'm not participating. Or the fact they check the SO Registry..

We're pretty small town here, less than 2,000 people. We had the usual, about a dozen kids. Most with moms and/or dads. Wife and I laughed our azzes off. Last little guy, no more than 2 y.o. was dressed as a cowboy. He was more interested in the kitty-kat, than any candy. I think he'd have been happier if we threw the cat in his bag. Nice to see kids being kids.

We live in a neighborhood that attracts lots of trick or treaters from neighboring communities and normally are completely run over by herds of the little crumb gobblers.
Tonight though, the numbers were less than average. Much less than average. The Mrs. says we had less than half of what we normally experience.
More leftovers for me...

0-4. Depends on if a couple friends drop by on their way home from t or ting in the small town we live outside of. No one on our road gives out anything so the draw isn't. there. We always have lots of candy on hand and give out multiple full-size candy bars. Wish we had more.

Just a little over a hundred bags, other years 200 to 300 depending on the weather. Numbers are down everywhere around here, a lot of people opted to have house parties for the young ones. The town hosted a party for those who are 12 to 18 years old. Spiderman was the most seen costume this year, followed closely by sparkly fairy princesses.
