Signs You’re Too Old to Be Trick-or-Treating in New England

We’ve all been there. You answer the door and a kid’s mustache looks just a bit too real. And did one of those “children” hop behind the steering wheel and back into your barrels on the way out?

Or…maybe you’re on the other side of things. You may be 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…
