Halloween 2020

Happy Halloween everyone! It is 31 degrees sunny and there is a freeze warning until 10 am this morning. I can tell you I have the heat up early.
So Halloween will be slightly different this year for many. The differences will include social distancing, the smaller gatherings and the extra ppes. I know that around here and I know I mentioned this earlier some organizations will have drive through trick or treating. Others like my neighbors last night did trick or trunk? For me it won’t be so different. I won’t be handing out candy again this year. In all likelihood will have the lights out and stay upstairs and catch up on letter writing and organizing the laptop files.
All week long I have reading the archives of my blogs to see when we had to cancel Halloween for some reason or not I went back as far as 2011 because we had an early snowstorm that year. Some people went out that night and if I am not mistaken we had only a few people at the door.
Halloween 2012 was delayed in Milford due to Hurricane Sandy until November 7. I don’t think we had it that night either.
Halloween 2013 was the last Halloween with Mom. We went to my Sister’s house that night for dinner and to see the grandkids/great grandkids all dressed up.
Halloween 2014 was the first Halloween without Mom that I could remember. When I was younger she worked a couple of Halloween nights for the railroad. It was about that time I wasn’t feeling well. Some gastro problems that made me stay home a lot that year.
Halloween 2015 saw my first Halloween with the titans. I had health issues again that year. I didn’t hand out candy either.
Halloween 2016 was quiet not many people
Halloween 2017 was the year there was another attack in NY. So there wasn’t much to celebrate that year. I kept to my tradition of no giving out candy. I sent out Halloween cards to the fam.
2018 Halloween was quiet no one on the street really had many people. We had a dress up day at work but I didn’t do it that year. I claim not being creative. It was more like I can’t be bothered all that much.
2019 Halloween was my speculation of last one in the house as it was about then when he who will not be named began his campaign to get me out of the house.
So this Halloween will definitely be the last one in the house. I am still not planning much for tonight but for the afternoon it will be closet time. AT least for a couple of hours and whatever I collect I will make a trip to Goodwill.
Other than that nothing really big is planned.
