it is done on Oct 31st here
wildwood is just past the Cheeseburger In Paradise/Outback/JCPenny's shopping center.
This is our first T/or t'ing experience in our new home in Persimmon Hills. The neighbors and surrounding families have warned us the truckoads of kids come in and driving in here is quite slow moving.
That's on the north side of 5 just past the 5/235 (Wawa) split.

This is my first Halloween in SOMD. I'm in the Villas at Greenview, a stone's throw from Greenview Knolls Elementary School. How much candy should I get?

Wow!!!
Yea - this year I'm just gonna set a chair in the garage and watch TV out there cause the kids are basically non-stop for an hour. Some folks just set up shop on the sidewalk to save the kids the walk to the house.
Back in 1999 Halloween was on a Sunday. That year the kids came by on Saturday (30 Oct). I wonder who decides on stuff like that.

Well, you all are welcome to come trick or treating at my house... (but this being the internet I ain't telling you where I live, if you don't already know)
I bought two big bags of candy for the school Halloween festival, and kept forgetting to sent it in. Then I heard they were good on candy, so I didn't bother....good thing too.
I was volunteering over there and at the end of the night, the kids who stayed 'til the end were walking out of there with still sealed bags of treats...more than they could carry.
Sooo, I still have two big bags of candy and will only get a dozen or so kids.

Idiots... some mamby pamby HOA-types will occasionally make noise about ToTing on weekends instead of a weeknight or some folks whine about celebrating a so-called pagan holiday on a Sunday... it's all
Halloween is one of these holidays that where pagans and Christians celebrated something similar and the Christians who were trying to convert the pagans realized the value of incorporating native beliefs in order to win converts, so they rolled it all into one.

You could always just set the candy outside and sit inside while the kids trick or treat and then you dont have to see the disappointed faces when you run out. Where is the best places to take my kids? I took my oldest last year to the fire house in Lexington Park and down South Essex. My moms car broke down so we werent able to go anywhere else but my daughter still got more candy than she needed. It also doesnt help though that most of the candy was stuff she wouldnt eat.
I liked her first year out in Missouri. We were in a small town and the rich people of the town would buy full size candy bars and hand out. That was awesome they would even give them to the adults that was with the kids. I want to go back there and trick or treat.

You live in the wrong neighborhood. My neighbors give out full size candy bars, large bags of candy and toys. Many have haunted garages for the kids to walk through. We have block parties. Someone is always grilling and gives out hot dogs with the works. My neighborhood is fun!

Your right I do live in the wrong place. That is what I miss the most. The community feeling. Everyone knows you. The down part is that means they also know your business. But I like the feeling of a small town. I want to find the place that gives out full size candy bars. I remember when I was a kid and I would go trick or treating. I lived in Hollywood and I know they would give you something to drink and give you cookies along with candy. Why cant people be like that anymore.

I hate to see neighborhoods get ganged up on.
Places like Wildewood are magnets for people in the more rural area's to bring their kids.
Out here in the Boonies we get maybe 7 or 8 kids. Its too far for them to walk between homes . people like to see their kids get goodies so they go where the houses are thickest.
My belief is that people should stick to their own neighborhoods, unfortunately they dont, and places like Wildewood get the load.

Why do people take their kids to strangers houses? When I was a kid the houses were to far apart to walk. We got in the car and drove to relatives and friends. We ended up staying 20 minutes at each house because they wanted to take pictures and talk. I had fun. I don't feel that I missed anything because we didn't go to 200 houses.
