Halloween

I live in a small village. One neighbour takes Halloween, Christmas and other occasions seriously. Through I’d share a couple pics I took today.

& yes they have a sense of humour too:

That's pretty awesome!


Calgary does this around Xmas time, usually a good time driving around with a hot chocolate. Some houses are amazing

It's a map of the participating houses & a lot of them with have thousands, and thousands of lights with their own radio channel you tune in to listen to.

You have to check out 544 Crescent Rd in Calgary. They do that house up every Christmas and Halloween.

They even hire out mini doughnut trucks for Halloween. lol. No wonder I get no kids at my house anymore. ;)
 
The last few years I’ve been getting less and less kids last year was around 5 so I’m wondering each year how much candy to pick up. I’m thinking less this year since that protest yelling Death to Canada.

we get no kids. The ones that live here dont bother, and outside our complex is the wealthiest area of Scarborough, far better pickings there I guess.

So we dont need to buy candy that we'd just gorge on later. Thank god
 
Walking up our laneway consumes more calories than a whole pillowcase chock full of candy. We have not had one child in 15 years. But I am the penultimate optimist. I always tell the wife to buy a few dozen coffee crisp chocolate bars just in case...... :rolleyes:
 
A new low for us, one!

And I had to drag them over from the neighbour across the street. Good kid though, he really didn’t want to take the second coffee crisp because someone might go without. Told his mom that she was raising him well! There’s still some hope.

D :cool:
 
We don't get any kids either. I would be very surprised (and worried) if we ever did way out here. Our Kids usually carve pumpkins, just for the fun of it, but we didn't even do that this year. We drive them into the nearest subdivision and they walk around with friends from school.

We just got back, and the Twix haul was very low this year. They payed the tax (%50), but this has been the lightest Twix year ever at only four.
