If I had small kids and if I lived in america, then I would certainly go trick-or-treating with my kids. It sounds like great fun :-p
LOL! I could just imagine micro being Rick Astley for Halloween. Then have a stereo around him and playing his hit when they answer the door.

As for me, I have no kids and I am too old for trick or treating. I am planning to have an outfit. I will be Anonymous with the Guy Fawke's mask and the suit. Oh yea! x)

Why is there no option to go trick-or-treating without kids?

Yeah! A couple of years ago some guys from Lehman Brothers came by. I gave them each a dime and told them to put it in a bank.

We made a deal this year with our middle child (M), who cares about Halloween the most (because of the copious quantities of unregulated candy it generates), that if he was old enough to start shaving off his developing "mustache" (a source of some apparent teasing at middle school) he was also therefore too old to trick or treat.

You are being too strict on him.

He's actually okay with it. I think he's a bit relieved to not repeat the "candy-vomiting" experience of last year (when he went with a friend and stayed the night at the friend's house, eating his entire bag of candy and probably literally bouncing off the walls... until, that is, the candy came back up ).
