For the first time in my adult life I’m not at college on Halloween (just graduated) and I’m passing out the candy for my household. I always knew going without a costume on Halloween was lame but now that I’m seeing it from the eyes of an adult passing out candy, I can see it is actually REALLY lame. Do y’all pass out candy to kids not wearing a costume on Halloween?

Edit: The comments here are pretty unanimously on the side of passing out candy no matter what, and I don’t disagree. Trick or treat is a very big thing in my neighborhood, so it has surprised me to see as many kids without costumes as I have. Still, I try to not make assumptions, I’ll just be a chill adult and do the job of passing out the candy either way. I appreciate yall’s input!

    Is this a thing? I’d feel like I was punishing a kid for having broke parents.

      I remember it when I was a kid. I also remember some people gave put more or less candy depending on how good your costume was. Felt incredibly judged in public. Hated Halloween for so many reasons.
