I hope to have Halloween this year. I have a great costume. It would work perfectly because of COVID-19.

I set out a big bowl on a chair taped to the back of the chair: full of candy bars, with a sign to "PLEASE - TAKE ONE" and peeked out the window and happily discovered some very honest trick-or-treaters who took only ONE!

Why would you decorate and not give treats. The decor is what brings trick or treaters to the house. Put candy outside but don't tease them

Decorating but no adult party this year. Our neighborhood is setting up tables for treats in our yards, socially distanced. We're not expecting many kids this year though.

I haven't celebrated Halloween in years, though I enjoy seeing the decorations.

Traditional Halloween is out. We're a pagan household so we'll be doing our own thing. I'll miss seeing all the kiddos though. However, better safe than sorry. No amount of candy is worth the risk.

There are no children to come around to my house in san francisco. There is something in the air that prevents childbirth. Its called men's legs.

We live in a neighborhood where we get few, if any, trick or treaters in the norm. I suspect this year will be no different as, unfortunately, the pandemic precludes the kids having fun.

Trick or Treat has been too dangerous for decades. Too many crazy, evil people out there.

Sad you feel that way b it true. Stick to houses of people you know. Friends, family but don't take away the experience if you don't have to

45 years ago we found great bargains, but that was then, this is now.
