On a serious note, I have had serious trouble in the past with no good teenagers using halloween as an excuse to egg your windows, shout abuse at you and generally be a pain.
Everyone Prepared?

Luckily I live in a very small village where the kids are mostly well behaved. All the visitors tonight were accompanied by parents.
22 seems to be the magic number - no more calls tonight by the looks of things
However, thanks to my eldest daughter, the house is now full of dressed up teenage giggling girls

I've had a great evening. We took the kids to a Halloween party, then trick or treating. They loved getting dressed up and spotting Jack o' Lanterns. All the kids who called at ours were very polite.

I've had two - not impressed by me not having treats for 'em.
But couldn't say anything, cos the older of the two wants her bike repaired later

You have a fair point, hopefully no harm did come to any kids but you do read stories about drugs wrapped up to look like sweeties.
We don't turn our lights off, just don't answer the door not that anyone came knocking.

Had hordes of good-natured 'trick/treaters' last night; the busiest Halloween by far of the 18 years we've lived here. Very impressive costumes and house decorations in the street.
Our miserable neighbours turned their lights off and pretended to be out (for the 2nd year running), although the flickering TV in their front room gave the game away! Can't say I understand their Halloween Grinch mentality as they've got children too and have previously joined in.

Not a single caller, thanks to the large sign on the door.
It's great being a Grinch.

We had about 15 trick or treaters, and sounds like we were the only ones in our street being welcoming.
Was told all the neighbours lights were off, and nobody was answering the doors. I pointed out that the miserable sod over the road is definitely in, and they should all knock his door as loud as possible, and keep going until he answers.
Gave me some entertainment for 15 mins!!

What a result
Once again - we have ended up with three-times more candy than we started with
No need to feed the kids the rest of the week

We don't get any callers maybe it is because we don't advertise, no pumpkins or anything like that. It was quite busy round here later last night, the fami!y a couple of houses up did something pretty big again this year, kids flocked to see.

I'm still shaking from the sugar rush.
