For the first time in my adult life I’m not at college on Halloween (just graduated) and I’m passing out the candy for my household. I always knew going without a costume on Halloween was lame but now that I’m seeing it from the eyes of an adult passing out candy, I can see it is actually REALLY lame. Do y’all pass out candy to kids not wearing a costume on Halloween?
Edit: The comments here are pretty unanimously on the side of passing out candy no matter what, and I don’t disagree. Trick or treat is a very big thing in my neighborhood, so it has surprised me to see as many kids without costumes as I have. Still, I try to not make assumptions, I’ll just be a chill adult and do the job of passing out the candy either way. I appreciate yall’s input!
We invited another friends’ family over to sit at a table in our driveway. Had dinner, chatted, handed out lollies to about 40 kids, gave them compliments on their costumes. The 10 who were without costume got the same lollies and “Happy Halloween”. I remember what it is to be a kid.
The parents chaperoning kids around are usually not in costume.
As for our decorations and costumes, we had fake spider and snake out, I dressed up family members in a sugar-skull shirt, and I wore a NIN Ghosts shirt.
Before heading out front, my dad-joke got a groan, when I said, “I am dressed as ghosts!”
Excellent joke. No notes.
