Reply to comment by spidleytopaz in LPT: If you don't want kids ringing your doorbell on Halloween and don't wanna turn all of the lights out, put an empty bowl out with a sign that says "Take one". That way they will think somebody stole all of the candy. by MyScrotesASaggin

Some people don’t celebrate halloween. That says nothing about them as a person - They just don’t. I don’t give gifts on Christmas. Does that also make me a grinch of hallow’s eve?

If you were doing like this guy and gave empty gifts, yeah that's a Grinch move. I agree that you shouldn't judge who celebrates what, but there's no need to go this route. "Hey kids, come here! Oh sorry, nothing for you!". And not in a funny was, but in a sad "don't judge me" way. A sign alone is better if you're unwilling to turn off the porch light. It's a simple tradition everyone already understands
