Do you think it is important to trick-or-treat around your own neighborhood?

    Nope, it doesn't matter to me. We took our daughter ToT in our own neighborhood last year and it sucked. I think most of the kids here are older and if just wasn't the vibe we were going for. This year we went to our good friend's neighborhood to let our littles ToT together and it was so much better...the average age of the kids in their neighborhood is like 3 so lots and lots of littles! Which I loved! I'm not opposed to trying our neighborhood again sometime though.

    No, we go in MIL's neighborhood. It's a big fun thing with all the cousins. Bonfire, dinner, beer, desserts....

    There are three kids that live on my cul-de-sac I have no clue if they came to our door. I didn't recognize anyone in costume. ToT last night was so not about meeting neighbors. Mostly kids came up to the door and if the parents were with them neither of us asked/ said which street they lived on.

    I like it for convenience, but also is cool to see the kids in the neighborhood grow! Last year or neighborhood started a block party, so everyone sits in their driveway and hands out candy.

    Some of my friends take their kids to ritzy neighborhoods to get the full sized candy bars. We really don't need that, I'm happy just talking mine to a few houses along the block and thenjoy playing in the driveway.

    @blackbird: you had me at beer! 🍻

    I do! I think there's just something so awesome about walking house to house in your own neighborhood. But I would do a trunk or treat or mall-oween on top of that. next year I hope to take my LOs to a neighborhood business trick or treat. And this year was the first year in 4 that was nice. Recent years have been cold, damp and rainy so I can see the draw of taking the young kids somewhere that is indoors instead.
