Do you have any special plans for Halloween? Have you done or will you do anything fun or interesting this year at a Halloween party or event?
Whatever you do, please be careful as this is a different kind of year. Stay safe!!!
Here in the states, the stores depend on Halloween to sell a lot of merchandise. In typical years, there are parties, costume contests, what amounts to theatre in front of (and inside, sometimes) the homes of people as they try to scare or entertain neighbors and strangers with things ranging from silly to sexy, spooky to gory. In some places, kids (and often parents) in costumes go from door to door collecting candy or other treats.
Many amusement parks, ranging from small to the largest, do special entertainment in the weeks leading up to Halloween, and this is a favorite time of the year for movie studios to release horror movies, and for broadcasters to show ones from years past. Of course, this year, things have been different.
For some, there are religious or spiritual aspects to the day, and it might be called by other names.
Some interesting things can happen when people are having fun at costume parties, or cuddled up together watching scary movies. With many parties and events cancelled this year, maybe you'll be home with family or other loved ones, watching something good or playing some fund games?
So, as always, feel free to comment or share your plans or stories, including from years past. You can comment anonymously below.
so much going on during covid!
ReplyDeleteI’d imagine that Halloween might be the only chance some sibling or parent child relationships can be celebrated in public, a party where no one knows you, a costume hiding your face and suddenly no one looks why you are holding your sisters hand or why she has her hand on your ass.
ReplyDeleteThat is very true! I never thought of that lol
