[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My local parents have never come over for Halloween.  Just tell your family since Halloween is a Monday this year its going to be really hectic and kid is going out with their friends so you aren't going to be having any kind of gathering this year.  Tell them you will send lots of pictures.  Done.  [/quote]

I've never told them there is a gathering--they take it upon themselves to gather:)  I really just want the tradition to die but don't want to be rude.[b]  They are the type that if I tell them we are going T-or-T with friends, they will just hang out at our house to hand out candy[/b] (and we don't get many kids at all since everyone congregates around a few streets where there are block parties).[/quote]

Perfect.  My mother-in-law does this.  She gets to see the kids dressed up, and then she stays home to hand out candy while we wander the neighborhood begging for wine from our neighbors - er, I mean - trick or treat with the kids.[/quote]
