Fall is in the air and we anxiously await crisp fall mornings and the delicious aromas of fresh baked goods in our kitchens. This is that special time of year that we refocus on our families and celebrate the holiday seasons together. Our summer didn\u2019t quite pan out as we expected this year with many events canceled or adjusted for safety. As October swiftly approaches, we may be wondering how can our families safely participate in Halloween this year?<\/p>\n

As much as we would like the virus to take a holiday as well, that just isn\u2019t going to happen. With safety precautions in place such as wearing masks, (no the cute costumes don\u2019t count), social distancing, and the general rule of good hygiene, we have to make adjustments in how we normally hold our celebrations.<\/p>\n

Here are some cute ideas we have found for keeping your spirits high this Halloween.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Driveway Candy<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Many of us have participated in \u2018drive by\u2019 birthday\u2019s, graduations, housewarmings and other events this year. One option is to place a cute decorative table on the driveway or front lawn and fill it with safely packaged packs of candy for the kiddos. They can each grab one as they come by. You will just have to keep an eye on it and restock as needed.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Go All Out On D\u00e9cor<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      We always do our best to decorate our houses and spaces for the season. This year with all the limits placed on participation we could make up for it in our personal spaces. Pull out all the stops and amp up your decorations. Add scarecrows to your front yard? A fog machine? MORE pumpkins?? You could even have a contest for best carving and have the neighbors vote. Take the time to decorate both inside and outside of your home and it will raise your spirits and your neighbors. This could lend itself to a fun activity as well, driving past all the decorated houses and checking them out!<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Family Candy Scavenger Hunt<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        If you decide to keep your family inside this Halloween you could plan a fun candy scavenger hunt. Hide candy around the house and make a game of finding it. You could use clues, darkness, and other challenges to make it more interesting. Don\u2019t forget the reward for the winner!<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Spread the Candy Love<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Everyone loves a surprise gift! Placing a small gift on someone\u2019s doorstep, (no not that), is a fun and safe activity for both you and the recipient. Take time as a family to decorate little treat bags and drop them off to friends and neighbors. Just make sure you let them know, so it doesn\u2019t get thrown away or spoil on the doorstep!<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Halloween Zoom Party!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            We are all very familiar with Zoom now. As most of our schooling and communications have moved virtual, we\u2019ve gained more technical skills. You can take that skill that has been utilized to hold in home talent shows and events and throw a Halloween Zoom Party. Design invites and send them out to a few friends and hold a party. You could have a costume contest, pie eating contest, and play games all over Zoom. The possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n

            There are many ways to safely participate this year as long as we are creative. Take the time to discuss with your family what you\u2019d like to have this year for Halloween and don\u2019t let that Bogeyman creep in on your celebration this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
