We usually go out: sometimes, it is our neighborhood, some times we go to hoods that are famous for their decorations and treats ( Venice Canals, Newport Beach, Beverly Hills and Woodland Hills locations are just few to name). Some homeowners communities go insane with decorating for Halloween and Christmas.

p.s. Nexdoor network now creates maps for Halloween tours.

I think more people are seeking alternatives to the door to door method.  I am seeing fewer kids at my doorstep every year.

Vern,

We take them to select houses where we know the people. Otherwise it is a party at home.

if you saw my kids... you wouldnt ask :) . seriously, some neighborhoods are easy and quiet. others get hit by busses full of out of towners. nasty. thats actually good for our biz..its getting worse every year and people want to ove out

Kids are grown, still waiting for grandchildren.

trick or treat

I always took her to a few houses of personal friends early in the evening. She loved the dress up part.

Mine are grown, but I would always take them to a few homes even if we were going to a party

Some little kids in our complex came to my door with bananas over their mouths giggling saying "trick or treat!" I told them "nice try" and to come back next Saturday haha ;)
