This. I saw maybe 3 families walking our street this year.Originally posted by DennyAll of these community and/or church carnivals are taking over. My kids went to the Cowboy Church and got free hot dogs, drinks, popcorn, snow cones, tons of candy, cupcakes, hay ride, bounce houses, horse rides, mechanical bull rides, games, etc. We spent about 2 hours there and came home with a ton of candy each, cakes won at the cakewalk, toys, stuffed animals and full bellies.
One-stop shop, right there.
We stopped giving though, as two years in a row it was mainly just teenagers who didn't even dress up. I ain't giving to them, as was about the kids."Self-government won't work without self-discipline." - Paul Harvey

I stopped giving when I lived near downtown Fort Worth because of that nonsense. I'd watch vans and suburbans unload kids like a clown car. I'm there to support the local kids that live in neighborhood, not the rest of Fort Worth. Go Trick or Treat in your own area!Originally posted by mstng86 View PostKids seem to get shipped into our neighborhood. It was packed till about 8:45ish."Self-government won't work without self-discipline." - Paul Harvey

Someone on Reddit put a bowl out like that, and their security cameras caught all the kids coming up, taking a piece or two. Then one child walked up, took 4-5 pieces, and his 400lb mother wiped out the entire bowl.Originally posted by Sgt Beavis View PostWe took our son to see his birth mother on Halloween, so I left a bowl full of candy on a chair in front of our door with a note to help themselves.
Half the bowl was still left when we returned that night.Originally posted by BradMBut, just like condoms and women's rights, I don't believe in them.Originally posted by LeahIn other news: Brent's meat melts in your mouth.
