Holiday Planning: BOO!

Holiday Tasks for the Week (19 to 25 October):

1. Check your lists and relax.

  • Check your lists to make sure you haven't missed any important task.
  • Another holiday is coming up. Time to shift your focus for a while.
2. Decorate your home for Halloween.
  • Are you buying ready-made decors or are you making your own?
  • My friend Mrs. P made her own cute scarecrow a few years ago.
  • Find a way to blend the Christmas lights you already installed in your garden with your Halloween decors.
3. Buy or make your Halloween costumes.
  • Do you have a theme for the whole family this year? You can be a farmer and your children the vegetables. A gardener with her flowers? Snow White with dwarfs (hmmm... childhood dream)? Queen Bee with worker bees? You get the idea.
  • The cute and unique costumes are selling like hotcakes so shop early. You don't want to end up with the generic Wonder Woman/Superman your child wears all year round. This is the one time of the year you can legitimately act goofy.
  • Can you help me find an adult version of these costumes - here and here?
3. Prepare your Halloween candies/loot bags.
  • I heard it's now not enough to just give out candies. People started giving away loot bags last year?! Is this true?
Note: I'm following the holiday planning schedule of Cynthia Townley Ewer. Check out her website -- Organized Christmas.

@Lina and Mai - Kids are so lucky nowadays. During my time, we just went to the cemetery. No trick or treating there.
