[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually thought it was the best halloween ever. Everyone sitting outside and the extra decorations made it awesome! Versus having to ring doorbells. [/quote]

I agree, I really liked this format.  [/quote]

Totally agree and I heard that from so many people. I think a lot of it will stick next year and beyond. People sitting outside with their fire pit waving while kids grab a bag (vs as the parent waving to your neighbor from the sidewalk while you barely see them from behind the door), people coming up with all sorts of creative ideas for how to have the candy (hung on clothes lines, tables, shoots, on pegs throughout the yard), it all felt really warm and community driven. Like everyone came together to find a way that lowered risk and allowed some engagement. We didn't go beyond our street but it was lovely for that.[/quote]

+1  I've been on next door and facebook quite a bit, making note of the people who said they would have chutes or individual treat bags, and I actually mapped out a route. I live in Clarendon, and if people are crowding into bars, there is absolutely no reason why my child cannot partake in safe outdoor activities.  It was super special - better than regular Halloween.

The family we were joining with had the gall to say "we are not going to get candy, we are just going to look at the decorations."  I was like "well ok, we have our bucket and are going to collect candy."  In the end, their poor kid was trying to catch candy with his bare hands from candy chutes.  So stupid.  [/quote]
