I'm sorry to hear that you will be stuck with hand-out duty Katie.
Here's acouple of suggestions that might make it more fun:
My ex would always make the neighborhood kids do a trick (juggling, sing a song, do a dance) before he gave them any candy. One year we got a pretty good variety show going on the front porch.
When my kid brother took his shift, he would hand out other thigs besides candy. Some kids would end up with old socks, hairpins, rubberbands , and various bits of junkmail. One kid thought he'd hit the jackpot when My brother handed him one of those "FREE AOL!" CD's (Glorified coaster in our house. we have a huge collection of them).
The kids seemed to get a kick out of it. I was amazed that our house never got vandalized afterward.
