As our neighborhood, including the children, aged, there were fewer visits and we gradually just let the night pass without bothering with either decorations or lights. Kinda miss it, but ’tis the way of things, and we go with it. Notice last year or two, lots of cars with kids showed up and worked the area. Not the same as seeing and chatting with parents and the kids we know.

Earl should get his share. It’s only right.

Does Grampa also get leftover candy that Opal failed to give out?

A third skimmed right off the top. Well what could he say?

To Nelson’s credit, he poured the sweets without even trying to choose… This boy looks too good for his own good.

Yes, all the ones Nelson does not like!

Interesting that Nelson used a pillowcase to collect the candy…

We used pillowcases back in the 50s, when we would get heavy stuff like fruit or even a bottle of pop. Happy Halloween y’all!

We called it “Parent Tax”. Never too young to learn about it

Give him all the stuff he doesn’t like, then he will give it back.

“Piece of the Action” eh? Oughta make him play Fizbin for it — now there’s a game!

I used to go through my kid’s pillow cases and take out the bad candy. Neither of them like Reece’s peanut butter cups to this day. ♪♪♪♪♪

My grandfather used to ask for ten percent of our candy at Halloween.
