It is fun to see the little children in costume. The parents walk with them and watch from the street. Sometimes they are in costumes too. Fun. I quit handing out candy about 10 years ago and started giving juice boxes instead. It has been a great success. They get thirsty while walking around eating candy. Occasionally a parent will send their child back to see if they can get another for them. The grade school age children have always been polite and say "Thank you". As they get older maybe not so much but that's OK. It's all fun. We usually get about 40 children so I rarely run out of juice boxes. If I do it is getting later and the teens are out. By then we turn off the lights and retire to the back of the house to watch TV.
Cheers!
