Do you give out candy to kids without a costume on Halloween night? (pawb.social)

For the first time in my adult life I'm not at college on Halloween (just graduated) and I'm passing out the candy for my household. I always knew going without a costume on Halloween was lame but now that I'm seeing it from the eyes of an adult passing out candy, I can see it is actually REALLY lame. Do y'all pass out candy to kids not wearing a costume on Halloween?

Edit: The comments here are pretty unanimously on the side of passing out candy no matter what, and I don't disagree. Trick or treat is a very big thing in my neighborhood, so it has surprised me to see as many kids without costumes as I have. Still, I try to not make assumptions, I'll just be a chill adult and do the job of passing out the candy either way. I appreciate yall's input!

Dude, it was like 70F here on Halloween night. Both my kids were sweating bullets when we got them out of their costumes. A couple kids in our group had to take them off because it was overbearing.

Hell I went as Hagrid so my costume was like...sweatpants and a wig. And I had to take my wig off. Granted, I had filled my 30oz Yeti with a pretty strong cocktail for the walk. But still.
