words Al Woods
Halloween is often seen as something of a novelty in many countries, unlike in the United States where it tends to be more of a major occasion. But while Halloween might seem like a silly amount of fun you shouldn’t really care about too much, we’d argue that taking inspiration from many in the US could be a wonderful idea.
That’s because while the form and format of Halloween seems to surround horror, everything scary and the worrying aspect of things that go bump in the night, it can really bring people together, particularly families that still may not have fully bounced back from the physical and emotional toll that came from a year of Covid-19 lockdowns (with some of those still persisting worldwide).
In this post, then, we’ll discuss how and why Halloween is so important, plans for getting the most out of it, and what kind of investment you can make towards making this awesome evening the most enjoyable it can be. A sincere effort often returns worthwhile results. Let’s explain that further, below:
Get Involved In The Community
It might seem as though Halloween and its ‘trick or treating’ exercise is a great way to teach young children about the value of extortion, but luckily, another virtue of the practice cancels that out, and that’s the fact that it’s a great time to get involved in the community, too. From meeting your neighbors to going to a Halloween party, getting involved in a social event can be great fun, will help you see the effort other people have put into their costumes, while also getting you out of the house.
Get Dressed Up & Be Silly!
There’s no reason to take Halloween over-seriously. Sincerely is the operative phrase here. It might be that you want to get dressed up as a scary creature, or you just want to replicate the cast of a television show you love with your family. What matters is having a bit of silly fun. Don’t be afraid to purchase a broomstick you pretend to ride around, or carve pumpkins with silly faces, or make spider-themed cupcakes and put fake webbing all around your house. The sillier you can get, the more levity you feel, and the better the celebrations tend to be.
Bond Over Party Games & Good Food
Bonding over party games and good food might seem obvious on the surface, but making sure these are high-quality and well-themed can make all the difference. For instance, curating awesome Halloween party games that have select rules, a theme, and high-quality development will add a little more substance than just playing a usual board game on this special occasion. This is the kind of attention to detail, such as making cakes with spiders on them or purchasing paper plates with pumpkin designs, that really help the event take on a new sense of fun and appreciation. They bond people together and help the celebrations get moving. There’s almost nothing as special as that.
With this advice, you’re sure to make Halloween 2021 one to remember.
