Or…maybe you’re on the other side of things. A kid at heart who’s not ready to hang up your “Scream” mask. “What’s the big deal?? It’s just candy!” you reason.

Now that (fingers crossed) we’re “getting back to normal,” it feels as though people are more open to “senior” trick-or-treaters. It’s fun just to see people having fun.

However…it is a holiday for children. And maybe…just maybe…it’s time to pass the trick-or-treat torch. So in case you’re at a candy corn crossroads, here are…
