It always cracks me up eavesdropping on the kids as they divvy up the loot. They really do tell each other who gives 'good' candy and who gives the cheap waxy taffy things nobody really ever eats. "Trade ya three o these fer that Jolly Rancher" "No way man!"
I buy tootsie roll midgies and tootsie roll pops coz they arent very expensive and most kids like em. We get very few trick or treaters in our neighborhood. Parents drive over to the 'ritzy' section of town so the kids can get 'better' loot.
A couple of the dorms at the local college organize trick or treat for the community too. They decorate all the student lounges and common rooms, make little haunted house mazes and fortune-telling booths, lots of them dress up, and the kids stream through the building up & down all the stairs collecting treats and having fun. This year one of the nursing homes is advertising safe trick or treat with them, too.
My ten year old? Entirely uninterested in beggar's night this year. Has no plans to go out and shrugs when asked about the seasonal candylust. Mommie Hallowe'en maven is crushed. No playacting no dressup no ghoulish joie de vivre en famille.
The moon is most excellently doing its thing for the hols though. A truly cold and foreboding moon, perfectly suited to communion through the veil between the worlds.

Woohoooooooo Expat, you go dude!!! Methinks you've been hanging out with some 'bad' association! And it's finally paying off!!
Dress up, scare some of the kids, be gentle with the small ones, and most of all:
GIVE GOOD CANDY!! As with most things in life, my dear friend, it's not size or quantity that counts, it's quality! (Anyone interested in some waterfront property, btw?)
Have fun and welcome to life!

Buy like a 10-pack of tic-tacs, then hand out one tic-tac to each child. Cheap and effective and they will have fresher breath.
cheap bastard gave me a tictac -

expatbrit - you could always do what my JW friend (now ex-JW friend of the shunning class) did every year - hand the poor kids tracts... yes, honestly, and she wondered why her car used to get covered in soggy toilet paper!
bboyneko - now wouldnt it be something if tic tacs were really that big....
