Trick or Treating has definitely gone down in my neighborhood.
The neighborhood is 21 years old and I posit that is the reason. A lot of new families, like us, moved in 20 years ago and now the kids are all grown up. My kids are 18 and 16 respectively and have not gone out on Halloween for a few years. The family right next door to us have sons that are a bit older than ours.
Thats so sad my sister at 18 went with me when we were younger, even dressed up. I went to a bar this Friday and it was packed with people in costumes and dancing, at least my generation still indulges in it. The music didn't start until 8:30 so it was well after the trick or treaters. Idk maybe kids are afraid of their neighbors, that wasn't the case in my neighborhood. Hope you have many festive years to come! My friend's mom use to put tombstones out with her children's names on them.
