@bustrbrwn22- Here is another example of COVID fatigue because it's one more thing to consider, kids and holidays. I'm going to begin another post with just this theme. Thank you for your question and concern.

@bustrbrwn22. My daughter and I decided that we are not participating in treat or treat this year. I didn't have one single one last year. My daughter usually has many treat or treaters but she's going dark this year for safety's sake. People have to understand this is a very trying time, and not that we are anti social. Those who don't can move on.

@bustrbrwn22 - You are right- I’m not going to hand out treats this year either. Just turn off outside lights. That is the sign in our neighborhood that you are not participating.

@bustrbrwn22, I understand your concern. A few years ago, some in my immediate and other neighborhoods started turning off their porch lights to discourage treat or treaters. The idea spread and until Covid, some schools and churches would hold parties so that children could dress up i their costumes, play supervised games and be given treats. I don't know what plans may be in place for that this year.

I don’t know where you live but we have left our candy out on the front porch when we were not able to be home in the past and amazingly, kids and families took candy in a reasonable way. In fact, we even had candy left in the bowl when we got home.....I don’t think I may have been that good when I was a kid😜

Our senior community posts multiple signs re: the community is for the enjoyment of residents only(because we had a lot of folks coming over from nearby condos & such wanting to exercise @ a "change of scenery", here. So, small wee ones of folks who reside here will have some Trick or Treaters @ a reasonably early hour & then the lights will be out. That's what they're doing here.
