Tonight, my wife and I will be going with our grandkids to trick or treat. It's always a good time. In the small town we live in, it's still popular with the kids. As a kid in the 1960s, we used a pillow case for our candy sack, and made our costumes. I was a ghost, a pirate and a cowboy. Lots of folks made treats like candy apples, cookies, or cupcakes. We usually just munched these down along the way. My dad never seemed to worry about us trick or treating, and would say ok boys, have fun. The goal was to get as much candy as possible, and I remember the pillow cases being heavy with candy when we were finished. If your going out with kids or grandkids tonight for trick or treat, have a good and safe Halloween. Do we have any BR members who will be taking the youngsters out for trick or treat tonight?

Some of the memories you described were me too when I was younger. My brother and I would use pillow cases for our candy and we FILLED them. My boy is nearly 6 so he'll be going later (either me or my wife takes him, and the other attends to kids visiting our house). I'll try to post a photo later or tomorrow if I remember. One of the houses down the street puts up about 40 of those big blow up characters. It has attracted a lot of visitors the past couple weeks.

As a kid, we grabbed out pillow cases and ran the neighborhood stocking up on candy. What fun!!!

My daughters are 26 and 24, wife's boys are 22 and 20...none of them live with us...and now that we moved to the acreage...we get exactly ZERO trick-o-treat'ers at our house. Sadness : (

When we lived in the city, and our kids were younger...groups of Dads would meet up with our kiddos, a wagon, and a cooler of adult beverages. The Dad's would walk kids around to houses...and the wives would hand out candy and sit in driveways. At the end of the night we would all gather at one house, get a driveway fire pit going, finish the adult beverages...and the kiddos would swap candy. Glorious times!

Halloween > Christmas

Christmas can just drop off the calendar completely and it wouldn't bother me

100% agree, I really enjoy Halloween but kinda despise Christmas. My wife loves it but I don't get it.
