I haven't given out candy for years.

Even when kids did come to my house, I'd only ever get like 2-3 people anyway. And over the last 15 years or so trick or treating as a thing has kind of been dying off entirely (parents take their little kids to "trunk or treat" at school, and nobody else really seems to bother). So it's not worth buying candy.

So I just leave my house lights off so people assume no one's home and don't bother coming up. Especially since I don't decorate.

I'm starting to wonder if parents are just becoming worse.
I hear it's crazy out there or they take their kids to something easy.
The spirit shouldn't be purely put on the kids. The parents should do more.
