My wife bought two large bags of candy for yesterday, as we were sure that people would be ringing our bell. Sure enough, they came in droves. Our two bags weren’t enough. We put a sign on our door saying “Sorry, we ran out of candy!”
We did not let our kids see it – we put them to bed early so they wouldn’t want to go get candy also. We just gave every kid some candy with a smile, told them to enjoy it, and wished them a good night.
