Don’t I spend Halloween camped out on the sofa with my spouse, watching movies, and not bothering to answer the door?
At our last place, every year, didn’t I decorate a box to look like a monster head, and didn’t I attach that to our patio gate with a “Happy Halloween, take one” sign (kids would have to reach into the monster’s mouth to get candy)? And last year, didn’t some little brats take all the goodies at an early hour? So this year, am I not skipping the candy giveaway? Besides, since we now live in a dark back corner of a condo complex with few kids, won’t it make sense to just block the entrance to our staircase for the few stragglers that make it through?
