I gave up on Halloween over 20 years ago. After giving out candy for most of the evening, I realized that NOT ONE of the kids, or the parents with them, said thank you.

Bill Cosby was right when he called trick or treating organized begging.

Lame! You are not supposed to expect anything when giving away things. Heck even the Bible says that. You were doing it for self gratification and then took your toys home when the kids didn’t kiss your buttocks......with that pressure the kids are better off.

I cannot remember a child not saying thank you when I gave them candy at Halloween.

May be because of the neighborhood I live in, don’t know, but almost to a person they are all very respectful and say thank you.

Most of their parents are on the side walk or just off the porch saying ‘say thank you ____’ if they didn’t say it on their own.

Nailed it! Money quote! We have a winner!

THAT’S why Halloween mostly sucks. Cosby was right!
