I just had a kid some to my door (hs age) with a brown paper lunch bag to hold his candy! I could not believe it.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

I just looked out and only one other house still has its light on, so I turned mine off and changed into jammies. I left all the Coffee Crisp and Aeros until the end so I could bogart them. I have quite a few to get through!

Tea is getting cold quickly. Half an hour to go. Might be time to start hobo trashcan fire.

I'm afraid my response would be a very un-PC "Are you fucking kidding me?" Did s/he at least have a costume!?
No CANDY! And I'm an insomniac, so JUST TRY to egg my house. I will cut you.

No one has shown up at my house yet. I do see what looks like a few groups of kids on the next block down.

Chimenea, Tep?
ION, I am in flannel PJ's, with 7UP with real sugar, and a warm kitty on lap. Methinks (as far as I can think right now, which isn't much) that I will be early to bed tonight.
Have to finish a couple of paragraphs, get my stuff ready to go for tomorrow morning first.

Heh. Little neighbor kid came by dressed up as Captain Kirk. He got a double batch of candy.

That's WAY too classy for my neighborhood. A hobo trashcan on fire IS my neighborhood's version of a chimenea.

I just had a couple of little kids. However, the teenagers with them were taking large handfuls of candy too.

Still a couple late ones coming by -- I'd guesstimate 25 kids in little bunches. Some surprisingly good makeup, and one really great homemade costume -- kid in a bathrobe with a "shower" over his head like a giant halo.
