Loved it. Started out with a store bought witch and when I grew out of that I made my own, as did my sister when she grew out of the witch after me. I didn’t like it when it was cold, but we usually forgot about that after we got going.
When we were little kids our mother took us to relatives. When we got a little older we went in our neighborhood ourselves. Tons of kids were out. Back then if you were school-aged you wouldn’t be caught dead being followed around by [gag] grown-ups. I absolutely loved my little orange UNICEF coin box. My sister always forgot hers, but I would carefully put mine together and ask for donations. It made me feel like a productive part of the adult world, which kids don’t get to feel much. To this day I like UNICEF.
Not that getting candy wasn’t fun. Back then you got real candy bars, not these Munchkin sized things. Except from the misguided souls who gave out Good’n’Plenties 
. Milky Ways were big then, but I liked Reese’s and Almond Joys, which were rare.
