A number of churches here in central NM are doing it, too. We only had four kids at our house. (But then, our house is at the far end of a cul-de-sac, and none of our immediate neighbors had their porch lights on.)
I was very disappointed. I love to see the little ones in their costumes. One cute little guy asked if any of the candy had peanuts in it, as he had a peanut allergy. I told him that the Reese's pieces had peanut butter in it, and gave him a mini-Three Musketeers bar instead, in case he wasn't allowed to have the Reese's. He was delighted.
It was pretty cold here, mid-30's, so that might have been part of the reason for there being so few kids.
My son promised to bring his daughters over, within a few days, and we will have plenty of goodies to share with them. Their mother would not let them go trick-or-treating because of homework issues. I guess that is responsible parenting, but I would have loved to see them.
