Happy Halloween 2020!

 

Happy Halloween! This season has been sad and strange, but I loved seeing all the creativity and the Halloween community pull together.

Next year, hopefully, there will be a vaccine for Covid-19 and some normality will return. We’ll once again celebrate with trick or treating, big parties and bashes, and all the spooky fun we love and miss. Until then, if you’re still looking for ideas on ways to celebrate, check out my blog post from earlier this month, Halloween at Home.

Today is also the last day to enter the Halloween Haiku Challenge 2020. There’s still a chance to win a a free copy of Pumpkins and Party Themes by Roxanne Rhoads.


Don’t forget:

  • Look up, full Blue Moon tonight.
  • USA, we turn our clocks at 2am
  • Practice Social Distancing and Wear a Mask when necessary.
  • Keep those pumpkins lit til midnight!

Halloween Kristy 

 Have a safe and Happy Halloween!
