Happy Halloween

We always get several dozen kids ringing our doorbell on Halloween night, looking for handouts.  I like to pass out the fun sized candy bars.  I make sure that they are all peanut free because I know that a lot of people have allergies to peanuts.  I put all of the goodies in a large bowl near the door and I let the kids reach in with one hand and grab a handful.  If the kid is really little I’ll let the kid take two handfuls.  By nine pm the porch lights go out and I head to bed, hoping that when we get up in the morning the mailbox will still be intact and the cars un-egged and unvandalized.  So far we’ve been lucky; but some of our neighbors have not been so fortunate in years past.  I guess the kids didn’t like their candy!
