We had about 30 kids this year. Definitely less than last year, and that was less than the year b4.
My wife thought we weren't giving out the right candy, so this year, she stocked up on full-size candy bars. We had the happiest kids on the block, she thinks. We could hear the kids yelling to one another to hit up our house 'cause we had the coolest candy. Made her happy, and me out a lot of money. :) Glad this holiday only comes once a year. Jerry, yer sis had a couple hundred kids? Holy crap! That's a lotta candy!
