Well okay, I'll start. We're wondering if there's a way to do a scaled-down version of the usual door-to-door festivities. Costumes and candy outdoors with a few neighbours and friends. To give some semblance of normalcy without having to Purell every 15 seconds.
Side note- the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark movie was way better than I thought it was going to be. Can't go wrong there if your kids are looking for a spooky movie.
Well here's one way to handle it. "How a Toronto plumber is making Halloween safer — by installing 'Candy Chutes'"

I'm not doing anything and seeing if there's any fallout from my 6 and 8yo. Cruel?
I am organizing a hell night with my kids. The good stuff like soaping cars and playing Nikky-Nikky Nine doors. Time to take back the streets!

I feel terrible for the kids! Halloween is the best. Hopefully they can still wear costumes to school/ daycare/ over Zoom and eat way too much candy.
Now that G is 13, we will probably eat candy watch scary movies! But we really miss the neighbours -- it's such a wonderful annual tradition.
well I spoke to soon. Halloween is now being discouraged in hotspots like Toronto. https://www.cp24.com/news/ontario-says-no-trick-or-treating-this-halloween-in-covid-19-hotspots-1.5150912
and anyway, it doesn't seem like Halloween is going to be officially cancelled, at least not nationally. https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal/2020/10/13/sweet-no-need-to-cancel-halloween-dr-theresa-tam-says.html
