This olde geezer has two traditions.

First, turn out all the lights and go somewhere away from home until the kids are gone.

Second, if at home for the festivities do NOT offer any candy until the kids ASK for it. I wanna hear, "Trick or Treat!" before I part with the chocolate. Sometimes we just stand there and stare at each other until they remember - THEN I part with the goodies.

Love that first poem - thanks!
