I live in Cambridge & got about 10 kids. Last year, it was about 30. When the game started, I put a bowl of candy on the porch because I live alone. By half-time when I went back up, it was empty, I suspect someone took the whole thing. The thing I noticed about Halloween this year was how quiet the streets were…when I was a kid, the streets were full of screaming kids in costumes. Even when kids came to my door, they knocked, there was no yelling “trick or treat!”. Kind of sad how things have changed, Halloween used to be even better than xmas, IMO.
We`ve left the bowl on the porch as well in past years, but found it with some candies still remaining when we arrived back home.
When I was a kid, in Hamilton, there were hordes of us running the streets on Halloween. However, then we didn`t get the amount of good stuff (chocolate bars and chips) that the children now get. I was excited then if I found one or two of the bars or bags when I emptied my sack at the end of the night.
How times have changed.
I grew up in Stoney Creek, well before it was part of the city of Hamilton. You’re right, we only occasionally got chocolate bars, so we hit those houses twice, lol. I always gave those nasty Halloween kiss candies (I think that’s what they were called) to my dad, he loved them.
