"Has anyone considered Halloween?

We don't live in the area, but we quit Halloween years ago--under normal circumstances, putting kids out on the streets after dark to take candy from who-knows-who is not what we consider a "healthy" practice. I know many kids look forward to it, but there are alternatives. (don't we tell our kids never to take candy from strangers???)

So did we. Usually we buy candy and hide it all over the apartment. Then we turn the kids loose with buckets to go find the candy.

Yep. I think that's why many businesses offer safe, indoor activities. Plus, it usually is snowing on Halloween here.
