Because some of us don't want you coming to our house as we are acting responsibly with COVID.

So keep your porch light off goblin.

We’ll be decorating no matter what!

Our kids have been taking about their costumes for months. We will let them dress up and go around to neighbors houses. I’m sure a lot will have their lights off, but within a few blocks there are probably a dozen+ families whose kids who have all been playing together outside since the last few months, so I’m sure those families will at least leave candy at the front door. If the kids get to run around in costumes for a little bit and eat a few pieces of candy, they will be happy. They don’t need to knock on 50 doors.

Plus 1. It CAN be fine safely!

We typically get 1,000 kids on Halloween (and some adults) within two hours. It’s a total magnificent, celebratory, mob-scene. (Capitol Hill, serving our own child-full neighborhood, plus, on Halloween, most of Anacostia.)

No way to socially-distance. I hope the mayor cautions against it, so I don’t feel like a meany not to allow my kids, and not to give candy.

They always sell Halloween things stating in August

Halloween candy always comes out very early.

Signed, someone who eats a lot of it!

Because very few people are going to open their doors?

No one is stopping you.

Teaching them to act responsibly in a pandemic is not failing our kids. Its responsible parenting.

Your kids will survive not trick-or-treating for a year. I live in NJ and we had to cancel Halloween two years in a row in 2011 (freak snowstorm) and 2012 (Superstorm Sandy). The kids were fine!

I’m so puzzled by this. How does the government “cancel” trick or treating?

If people keep behaving like they do and numbers continue to rise we will go back into a full quarantine. But, hey, you don't care as even if we do you don't plan to follow it anyway.

Even though we are concerned and apparently "hiding in our basement" we will decorate and put some candy out on the porch for kids, but not answering the door.

Leave your front light off and don’t answer the door if someone rings the bell, fool. It’s easy to not participate.

Why do you feel the need to name call? I don't want my door bell rung by your brat who you refuse to teach responsibility to as you take none yourself.

You poor thing.
