Pumpkin scream in the dead of night, spirits wandering the streets, a cold chill in the air, tricks, treats, nd not to mention copious amounts of sprited drinks—halloween is just around the corner! Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, celebrating the usual way isn’t an option. But fear not for there are still ways you can enjoy hallow's eve to the fullest without breaking any IATF GCQ rules.

Trick or Treat from your own home!
Could you imagine being a kid right now? Having looked forward to trick or treat in your favorite superhero costume only for it to get canceled? As much sympathy as I have for them, I have twice as much for their parents! If you have kids or younger siblings you need to entertain this halloween here’s an idea: Hide candy around the house and make them search for it or have everyone dress up in costume and visit all the rooms in your home to ask for some!
Spooky Soiree with your family
At the end of the day, it’s all about spending time with the people you love. Since having a halloween party is out of bounds, keep it in the family. Make it as fun as possible: decorate, dress up, drink, and enjoy!
