Putting the candy in individual bags and placing them on a bench near my front door for the neighborhood kids.
2020 sucks.

I love binging on college football

Too bad my wife loves making plans. Even though we’re not really trick or treating she invited a bunch of family and friends over for a Halloween bonfire. I’ll pull the TV out to the patio for football and we’ll let the kids have at it.

Me too, I'll be watching College Football all day, I'll go trick or treating with my kids if they want me to, but I have a feeling they don't. Make a fire, early drinking and college ball if all goes as planned.
Whomever is stopping by

is getting some heavy duty candy. Trunk or Treat? Stupid. Digital Trick or Treating? Stupid.

Hey, all the smart people have been saying it on my TV and YouTube channels (who YouTube recommends to me) for the past 7 months: Wear a FuCkInG mask.


This is your chance.

Kids will go trick or treating but when we get back we are swapping their candy for candy we bought, they wont know the diffence..

A lot of our neighbors are older, usually our neighborhood is jam packed with kids, because it is an enclosed neighborhood, it is a giant circle, i wonder hoe many neighbkrs will have thier lights on..

same shit I did for MDW. FOJ I went to a small gathering. Fuck this year.
Not much  
Andrew in Austin : 10/28/2020 8:45 pm : link
We told the kids we aren't trick or treating this year. Friday night we are having "Mandalorian Candy Day" while we watch the start of Season 2. On actual Halloween, I'll probably buy theme some candy and hang out at home.
Same thing as a normal  
allstarjim : 10/28/2020 10:10 pm : link
Halloween. We're the scary house and we'll be doing it big. My wife will pass out the candy and I"ll scare the kiddos. We have a couple of friends coming over so we can have a couple more zombies.

the gate and watching college ball depending on the matchups. If no good games are on I'll binge 80s slasher flicks (shaking my head at how lame the kills are) and eating frozen peanut butter cups. Milk and white chocolate
Halloween Grinch. I cancelled 'Trunk or Treat' at my church...  
x meadowlander : 10/29/2020 8:29 am : link
...I'm on the reopening committee for my Congregation. Not making many new friends these days. I'm strict on the rules for gathering - and yes, urged the cancellation of Trunk or Treat which really sucks - I love Halloween, love that event, but Trick or Treating is LITERALLY community spread, here's a Reeses, some Kit Kats and a Tootsie Pop with Covid-19 on it. Enjoy, kids!

My light won't be on this year, first year ever. It's sad, but necessary.

Halloween party EARLY(wife insisted) just to see kids costumes then getting the hell out of there before all the non-covid caring idiots show up.
its going to be an unusually cold Halloween  
UConn4523 : 10/29/2020 9:15 am : link
here in CT it may by 40 degrees by 7pm and coupled with the humidity we are having its going to feel colder. I don't expect my 5 year old to last very long.

You showed them.

Let the God damn kids have fun, Charles. Got any "razor blade and ecstasy under the guise of candy" propaganda you would like to spread as well?

Or be that lame weirdo who hands out hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes in substitute for pennies and McDonald's coupons if you're Mr. Safety.

What the fuck? Since when are Reese's not worth sacrificing your health for? I'm all for keeping "grandma" safe as the cool kids are saying these days but how dare you come after peanut butter and joy.

I'm going to egg your house for Mischief Night if you live in Jersey (sounds like you do) See you at 4 a.m.

I'm a country dweller who doesn't get TorTers, so this year doesn't affect me.

I think it is stupid to accept candy from unknown sources. buy your kids candy (maybe you can just dole it out to them as you hit each house), and go wander the streets in costume. Halloween can still be fun minus the insane lack of covid sense.

Our street  
Les in TO : 10/29/2020 11:24 am : link
Has a lot of young families and a friend organized a 1 hour trick or treat hour for the kids on the street. Those who want to participate will hand out candy outside, use tongs wear face coverings and sanitize frequently. Parents have organized a You’ve been Boozed exchange where we’ve been gifting each other wine beer and other drinks which we will enjoy outside on Saturday. Daughter is doing a backyard scavenger hunt and movie night owith a few of her friends.

100% right I want more daylight AFTER WORK... Golf baby..

My house is decorated and Im giving out candy.. I'll mask up a put it on table outside for the kids... they need some fun
Putting a box out on the front steps  
JohnF : 10/29/2020 1:47 pm : link
Packed several mini treat candies (wrapped bars) in mini Zip locks for over a week, so they should be fine (I have no symptoms, and have been tested recently...negative). We don't get many kids the last five years, so I don't expect more than a couple this year, and they can take all of them as far as I'm concerned. The box will go into recycle once I'm done!
Wow.

This is all gibberish. Halloween was so fun as a kid and Trunk Or Treats are LAME. I went every year of my young life until 10th grade. No one died and no one is going through lengths to poison anyone. Or no way you'll get that dumbest druggie in the world who gives away their "edibles" to... stranger's kids? No one cares about your kids that much.

In 1998 or so I chased these girls down St. Andrew's Drive in Little Egg and I really admire what these quarterbacks can do throwing a football on the run. While scrambling with the egg, (pun) to get the girls, I threw the egg at the girls and it landed nowhere near them, looked like Dave Brown threw it.

Probably those girls could've thrown it better than me. Egg-barrassing.
Got the new PGA  
jpkmets : 10/30/2020 12:52 am : link
game for Xbox. Gonna try that out on Halloween. This is the holiday I’ll personally miss the most. I,love the Halloween dog contest our office building has for all the dogs in the neighborhood and there is always a great party in my circle of friends. Just definitely a holiday that I will miss. So PGA and horror films it is!

It was a bizarre and random diatribe about overprotective parents worried about poisoned candy and how you used to whip eggs at girls you liked 25 years ago. The thread is about how everyone is celebrating the holiday given we are in the midst of a pandemic.
So you did understand it...

What? Only Boomers can go on a "back in my day we did things with pleasure" rant?
and right.  
Route 9 : 10/30/2020 5:22 pm : link
Pandemic. We'll see how quickly that word will be jettisoned from our vocabulary if things go a certain way and everyone hits the streets to celebrate (or demonstrate) in a few days.
