I am the one who is sorry.
No I do not decorate and it used to worry us so that parents would pop their children out of the car
at the bottom of the hill and tell them to wander from house to house for treats.
The homes are not in a row and have between 1/4 acres and full acres between.
But back in the 80's we did get some tricker treaters and I worried so for their safety.
I believe the City Council addressed it telling parents to drive their children to each house.
We, also, have no door to door soliciting by law here.
