I've become more reticent about Halloween because I believe there is such a thing as witchcraft, because the spirit realm is as real as the material, and I would want all that I do to point folk toward Jesus, rather than anything even slightly demonic.
So...as I passed the treats out, I gave the very traditional Christian greeting of "God bless you." Some looked uncomprehending at me. One group of African American girls didn't miss a heartbeat, saying back, "God bless you too."
