When I was a kid my area had literally thousands of kids. Parents would get about 150-200 kids at the door every Halloween. And there was always at least one or two houses every year that would be dark, either no one home or, as we kids thought, were just too cheap to give out candy. One house in particular was always dark every year, and in later years some kids decided to pelth that place with eggs. Hey, you cheap out and refuse to take part in something that's supposed to be FUN you takes your chances and you get what you get, right?
Being a homeowner for the better part of 20 years now, I absolutely hate being "that house", the one that's dark and obviously unwelcoming to the kids. But every once in a while something is going on that I just can't get to it. This year was one of those years unfortunately. I hope I don't get egged. :D
Last year I had a total of 12 kids come to the door. The year before that 13 I think.
