Let’s Discuss Your Halloween Strategy

|

Happy Halloween! This is the one night each year when the under-18 population of the Park Cities significantly spikes. I’m wondering if you go into the evening with any sort of strategy or ground rules. Do kids who appear to be older than, say, 13 get turned away? Are you opposed to giving candy to those who aren’t wearing costumes or who can’t muster the energy to say “trick or treat” clearly? Is there a set time that you’re going to turn off the porch light and stop answering the door, regardless of how many sweets are left in the bowl? Comments are on.
