My wife and I took our grandson -- two-and-a-half years old -- out trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. I was surprised to see how few households participate. The houses were dark at 7 p.m.

Some doors had signs that said they had no candy. Some people came to the door and said they had no candy. Some people left a basket of candy by the front door for the kids to help themselves.

I would say that less that a fifth of the households participated -- someone came to the door and handed out some candy.

This was in a normal, middle-class, residential neighborhood.

We also saw few kids out trick-or-treating.

Only a few kids came to our house trick-or-treating.

The tradition of trick-or-treating seems to be disappearing from our culture.

It sure was different when I was a kid.

Very few trick or treaters this year compared to even just last year. And it was warm this year, unlike most other years. I think maybe the forecast of rain may have kept the numbers down.

Replying to Mike Sylvester: In my suburban neighborhood there is a big Halloween effort. But it takes place early early -- say starting at 5 or 5:30, and by 7 (as the sky turns dark) it is only the teens who have thrown a sheet over their heads or something equally unimaginative that are still sulking door to door for whatever candy is left. So a lot of my neighbors join me in turning off their welcoming lights or lit jack-o-lanterns as the day darkens.

Ok AA has got me on to tiktok. But what's with all the white teen lipsynching to hiphop lyrics with the n word?
