We hand out two pieces of assorted small candy bars but that's just
for tradition. We have a rep for handing out Mardi Gras Beads -- REAL
beads from New Orleans that came from the guys on the floats! Before
the holiday, the kids who live in the 'hood always make sure to ask us
about the beads when they pass by the house :-). Honestly, most of the
kids could care less about the candy, they really like getting different

I live in a small community populated by descendents of mostly Italian
immigrants. Several years ago, I was in our local grocery store in the
check out line. An older lady in front of me had several bags of groceries
and the check out gal asked 3 young (8-9) year old boys, who were milling
around the pop cooler, if they would carry the groceries out to the lady's
car. They all said yes and grabbed up the bags. I checked out and when I
went out to the car, the boys had finished and the lady was pressing a few
dollars into their hands. They were politely refusing, but she insisted and
they hurried back in the store.

A few minutes later, I was getting gas at the convenience store down the
street and the boys rode past on their bikes. I said, Lucas, what did you
boys buy with all that money? I figured they bought pop and candy. They
were so excited! They had a grocery bag and one of them whipped out a
package wrapped in butcher paper. Luke said, "we got 5 pieces of salami and
3 pieces of cheese!"

Now every one of those boys had plenty of food at home, but they were so
thrilled.

Kids will definitely surprise you.

We don't have that many kids come by our house (the neighborhood's little
ones are all grown up now! ... but many years ago, we found that one of the
kids down the block had a severe food allergy (something in
?chocolate/nuts/etc.) - so we started the tradition of handing out non-food
items instead (stickers, puzzles, small coloring books - crayons bought
CHEAP at back-to-school sales, little stuff that was cheaper/same cost than
giving out candy bars.) The kids loved it! 'Sides, we got to keep/eat the

Every year I close up my house and head to my parents' house to answer
their door. Generally they buy the goodies and I give it out. I like
to give the littlest ones the "good" candy and the older ones get the
"bulk" or cheaper candy. This year with all the rain we only had about
40 or so kids total, (usually by 8pm we have gotten 60-75). We had
tons of candy left over, as it started to get cold and no-one came to
the door past 8:15.

We had a neighbor years ago that gave out pencils. She was a retired
teacher. Another neighbor gave out giant Hershey bars and Tublerone
(sp?). A house a few blocks away gave out cider and donuts, but back
in those days, no-one worried.

I miss the popcorn balls. They were the best.
