Wow, we only had about 55 or so kids this year. I thought we'd have more, since Halloween was on a Saturday. We usually have at least 120 or more.
I wonder if it was because of H1N1...maybe there were more parties serving hand sanitizer

We only got about 20 here Deb. I think you may be right.

Everyone is reporting a dramatic drop in Trick or Treaters and I'm sure H1N1 is responsible.

Many of my friends didn't let their kids go out. We changed our routine. We live in the sticks and usually take our daughter into the nearest village for Halloween. Instead my husband drove her round to our few neighbouring farms. That way she got less exposure. Fortunately, she didn't get any less candy because everyone was so thrilled to have a little visitor that they showered her with goodies.

I hope they get a handle on this thing soon or it's going to be another big blow for the economy. Who in their right mind would venture unvaccinated into a crowded mall to do their Christmas shopping? The movie theatres and restaurants around here are already hurting.
