we had 27 kids. This year I had the little bars from the states - Almond Joy, Milk Duds, and Baby Ruth. Next year I'm going with the big bars. I'm going to get from the states again, and get something you can't get here. Any suggestions on favorites?

I've had that happen a few times before. I live on a cul-de-sac, and several years most of my neighbours have had lights off and no decorations, so I think a lot of kids skip it as not worth the effort for 2 or 3 houses. This year almost everyone was giving out candy and a few houses had highly visible decorations, so a higher percentage of the kids seemed to come onto the cul-de-sac.

How do you judge if someone is too old to be dressing up and going door to door? Do you tell them to fata off and risk being egged?

What is a standard hand out?
I have a couple of boxes of candy bars and was thinking 2-3 candy per kid, maybe a little bit more for the younger ones or those who put in a good effort with their costume.

How do you handle the trick or treaters?
