Every Year since I can remember Trick or Treat has been 6pm - 8pm.
The past 10 years I have always been swamped with trick or treaters. The last couple of years I wasn't home but this year I was going to be and made sure I would be. I stocked up with candy. I bought bags and bags of it. I h ave a Big cauldron filled to the top with assorted candy and treats plus I have a grocery bag filled with over flow of candy.
I get out of work at 5 pm as do a majority of people in this area do. When I reach my town I notice there are a few children out on the streets already. Most were small infants being pushed by strollers so I thought possibly the firehouse had a costume parade and the children would go trick or treating from there.
I get home run quickly to the house, flip on the light, gather all the candy by the door and impatiently wait for my first child!
Now mind you I have been dressed up in a yellow M&M costume all day and I still had it on because I wanted to hand out candy to the children in it. Maxx, my dog had to go to the bathroom and I made him wait a bit before letting him out the back door.
After about 10 - 15 minutes not seeing anyone coming to my door I let the dog out and started to straighten up my place. Then I headed outside to the front porch to see why I wasn't getting any treaters.
I saw a group of children heading my way so I just waited for them outside and handed out fists full of candy to each child.
Still not knowing what was going on I was quickly getting disappointed.
It was almost 6pm when I decided to go back in the house and just wait for someone to knock on my door. Which is when Danny and his son, Cameron came a knocking.
This is when I found out that they started trick or treating early this year.
Whoever the intelligent numb skull was to decide to change the time to 4 pm - 6 pm was down right moronic!
Most people don't get out of work or even home until 5pm! But lets not think of that now!
So now here I am with a shit load of candy. I'm just not even going to bother with it anymore. Why bother. I think they purposely changed the time to suit the needs of the welfare. Who sit on their asses all day and do nothing.
But that is only my opinion.
