Having recently moved into this area where I am at, I was expecting a lot of children so I purchased accordingly. To my great surprise we hardly got 20 kids. Previous place I lived we got over 100 kids. So I think next year I will be a Scrooge(or Grinch) and not open my doors. No one comes here anyways. I literally had to stand outside and tell the few children that came that I have treats available. In what world is Halloween a negociation? So these lucky kids got double the amount of candy that I had originally planned to give to each of them and the leftovers will go in my lunch. All that to say that we are a little disappointed at the turnout.

Please don´t be a Scrooge next year.
These 20 kids were happy to get some candies - so think about the 20 and not the 100.

I was together with my daughter walking around during Halloween, and I recognized how happy these children are getting something at the doors......
