Candy and Costumes and COVID, OH MY! The spookiest night of the year is right around the corner, and with COVID-19 remaining prominent in many of our communities, we have to take extra precautions. Regardless of if you’re a thrill-seeker and plan to be out and about. Or a homebody and prefer a small gathering. You can enjoy every second of Halloween while remaining vigilant.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s been years since I’ve been able to dress up in a costume and party, so my brain is loaded with tons of ideas. I’ll more than likely skip this year’s outside festivities and celebrate at home, but we’re dressing up. I love recreating iconic looks from old movies or TV shows. This year I’ve decided to dig deep and find my inner “New New” from one of my favorite movies, “ATL.”  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re still undecided on your plans, I’m thrilled to share a few tips on how you can celebrate Halloween in a COVID-friendly way<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re a homebody like me, you may opt to stay home while everyone is out trick or treating. Here are 4 ways to celebrate Halloween in the comfort of your own home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Host a virtual Halloween party \u2013 Invite a few of your friends\/family and host a virtual party using one of the many video-conference programs available for free! Have a costume contest, play games, share spooky stories, or have a dance contest.<\/li>
  2. Turn your home into a haunted house \u2013 Order supplies online and turn your home into the spookiest house on the block. Or make it into a contest and have each family member decorate their room. The best room wins.<\/li>
  3. Have a family movie marathon \u2013 Who doesn’t love a good marathon? Make a list of your favorite fall\/scary movies, grab your snacks and relax.<\/li>
  4. Pumpkin Carving Contest \u2013 If you’re feeling crafty, go all out and carve those seasonal pumpkins.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    For those who have decided to get out of the house or hand out candy to the neighborhood kids:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Make social distancing costumes \u2013 Incorporate your costumes into social distancing costumes, try Pac-Man, gigantic bubbles, or maybe a UFO.<\/li>
    2. Find a way to safely deliver candy\/treats \u2013 Make candy bags beforehand so that each child only touches one at a time.<\/li>
    3. Visit a pumpkin patch \u2013 Since these are typically in an outdoor setting, there will be plenty of room for social distance. <\/li>
    4. Last but not least, wear your masks, sanitize your hands, and try your best to stay six feet apart.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Granted, we may not be ready to celebrate this holiday as carefree as we once did. But, I hope my tips give you exciting ideas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Happy Spooky Season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      xoxo
