Perhaps you could offer to host the group of friends after the

of their tradition in later years as the trick-or-treating becomes
less central.

Good idea; looks like a school friend may already be planning something
along thosee lines. Of course, it's early and the details haven't been
ironed out yet.

Thanks for writing.
