Once again, children and families are faced with the consequences of the pandemic: how are we going to Trick or Treat? However, the options and the people dedicated to making Halloween happen are impressive. I’ve seen drive-thru jack-o-lantern socially-distant pumpkin picking, and hayrides.
Halloween is always the one time of the year I knew I’d get to see most of my neighbors, including those I haven’t met yet. I don a costume, my cat wears a cape and my big kids hand out the treats and provide playlists to keep everyone upbeat. You could count on receiving king-sized candy bars, fun dip, bags of chips and coffee, plus a cheery hello when stopping at my house, even when a mob of costumed cuties comes barreling for the door. This year, I’ll have a big lit-up pumpkin next to a scarecrow wearing a face mask, and a big box of treats on my doorstep with a note that says, “take what you want to and leave some for others.”
Upbeat music will stream from my garage, I’ll wave from the distance, and hopefully see a few new faces. As a personality on a Contemporary Christian station, Halloween is not a preferred topic of content, so I avoid any mention of creepy stuff, but I’ll always take a chance to love on my neighbor. The world offers enough to be concerned about, so why shy away from this traditional time that offers a little something sweet? Safely from a distance, of course.
Find me @Bethbacall, how much candy is in your house?
