TIL! I chalk this up to being a non-breeder (my neighbor’s description). I have no idea what the parents of children do.
That sounds like our neighborhood. We actually love having kids come from outside our neighborhood bubble. I even dig the teens who make an half-assed attempt just to get free candy!
Well, that is insanely stupid. Sorry, kids. We will not encourage trick or treating. (Lights off.)
@Flatliner, the politician was the LA County Health Department, meaning it wasn’t a political decision at all.
The trick is not getting sick or spreading it to anyone else.
We love celebrating Samhain… but this year, my household is just staying home and watching scary movies.
They are.
Sellowrapped? Maybe, from the family that’s heard of Asians in Cali/Oregon but never seen them…still convinced their Indian friends are putting them on. …so “Green Room”, on projection or tiny old monitors?
Oh, Flossy:
Scary movies sound fun, but mine is too young. I’m thinking a candy hunt in the back yard or house.
Oh, that sounds fun too; like an Easter egg hunt, but for Halloween.
Also, I don’t know just how young your little one(s) is, but you could do Scholastic’s Slightly Scary Stories, which my 15 year old still loves out sheer nostalgia.
And there’s always:
Charlie Brown would be fun! She’s just 4, so the Slightly Scary Stories are probably too much. But it’s a good idea for later.
Parents all over will just need to get creative, just like we have been. Trick-or-treating is just not worth it.
Edited bc the cat made me submit before I was ready. Hands are apparently for petting, not phones.
