I live in Florida. No sweater needed. But the mosquitoes will eat you alive and my tradition is to pour myself a drink and watch a scary movie. Not really doing that on the front porch. My house is decorated in a way that makes it clear we are home. Our road is actually perfect for trick or treating. It's a middle class(yeah a few of us still exist) neighborhood, easy to walk and hell yes, I get the good stuff. Although after looking at the scale I'm starting to understand why some people give away crappy candy. LOL.

Anyway, it's my understanding we are losing the kids to parents that somehow feel it's dangerous and bring their kids to the abomination that is trunk-or-treating.

I go fucking hog wild for Halloween. Tons of decorations outside, inflatable giant 20ft cat, colored lights that project on the house, drag a stereo outside and blast Halloween music, rolled the grill out and made chili dogs for people, had the firepit out also. I carve my punkins in the driveway with a sawzall for fun, they turn out surprianly good, can do a decant job in about 5 min each.

Our neighborhood isnt packed, but we usually dump about 8 lbs of candy. I don't do full size, but I give big handfuls. The last teenagers through get everything that wasn't taken.

I fucking love Halloween. Going to check out discount decorations for next year.
