Entry #4. Halloween!
Halloween is one of the best times of the year. It basically marks the start of the rest of the best national holidays and, in my opinion, the best seasons of the year. Halloween is a holiday that is celebrated each year on the 31st of October. This is the day that everyone, no matter the age, can dress up in costumes and be whoever or whatever they want to be. Not only this, but children can also go trick-or-treating as well; this is when kids go walking around their neighborhoods, going door to door to ask for and collect candy while in their Halloween costumes. While doing this, they also say the expression "trick or treat". Although this is very fun and is typically what is done on Halloween, usually almost all adults and most teens do not participate in this activity. But, just because they do not participate in this activity, it shouldn't mean that they have to do nothing on this day. Right?
If you are someone who doesn't like trick-or-treating or handing out candy, here are a few festive things that you can do on this spooky day instead:
First off, you can bake and decorate cookies with family and friends. I know what you're thinking, "not everyone is the best baker", and if you're not that's okay! This is meant to be a fun and stress free activity. But hey, not only does this make as the perfect opportunity for you to practice your baking skills, you can also get creative! Also, who doesn't love some fresh baked cookies?! Just in case you don't have any cookie recipes already, here is a link to a website that has a variety of cookie recipe options: delish
In addition, another activity that you can do is sit down, grab some popcorn, and watch Halloween movies. If you decide to do this, there are so many options for you to choose from. For example, there are horror movies or actual Halloween family movies. Some of the best movies for Halloween, in my opinion, are: Corpse Bride, Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, Coraline, The Conjuring, The Exorcist, Hocus Pocus, any "Scream", "Halloween", or "Scary Movie" movies, and so many more.
Lastly, one more thing that you can do is carve pumpkins. This is such a festive activity for you to do where you can also test your creativity! This activity can be a bit challenging if it is your first time so I do suggest going to the store and getting a pumpkin carving kit and also the obvious, a pumpkin. Don't forget to handle the tools safely and bring a trash can because things can get messy! If you need a few design ideas for carving out your pumpkin click this link here: woman's day
All in all, each of these activities are exciting, entertaining, and great for people of all age groups! Whether you are alone or with family and friends, each of these ideas are perfect. I highly recommend doing at least one or all of these projects to be able to celebrate Halloween in your own way!
I like you blog about Halloween you are very creative love the pictures you posted. I like Halloween to passing out the candy watching Halloween movies making Halloween desserts.
ReplyDeleteHi, Isabel, I liked how you blonde Holloween and gave exciting activities for those how do not celebrate it. I also like the pictures, especially the ones with the pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteI like how you mentioned that if there are some people who don't like trick or treating, they can bake with friends and family. I love Halloween and I think that dressing up, trick or treating, and baking are so much fun! Nice work :)
ReplyDeleteHi isabel, I really enjoyed this post, I loved all the pictures you added, and all the ideas you had for things to do if they don't celebrate Halloween. I always love Halloween and the movies, candy, and all the cookies my family makes during the season.
ReplyDeleteHi Isabel I love this blog post it looks so professional! You should seriously think about becoming a blogger one day, if your not one already that is. These are very informational tips and very good ones to choose from. My friend and I actually bought pre-cut frozen Halloween cookies to bake for Halloween but it would be fun to get more creative than that. We also plan on carving pumpkins as well, but I actually like painting pumpkins better because I am better at it then carving. I don’t know what I will do for Halloween, but I am thinking maybe having my sister do my Halloween makeup, dressing up as Harley Quinn, going to the store to buy candy, and then maybe watching some horror movies. Well we will see about that last one because I don’t really like horror movies that much haha.
ReplyDeleteI wrote my entry on Halloween too! It is my favorite holiday! In my entry, I recommended the movie 'Sinister' if you enjoy scary movies. It is not technically not a Halloween movie, but is seriously so scary. If you are into that, definitely go watch it. I also really liked how you laid out your entry, one of our peers suggested you become a real blogger, and I agree. You have a knack for picking out good photos and for writing!
ReplyDeleteThis blog was a lot of fun to read; I liked the graphics and the content. I love Halloween and am a little picky when it comes to this theme, but I truly enjoyed yours! Really creative, and I appreciate the fun activities for people who don't celebrate the holiday.
ReplyDeleteHi Isabel! Your post about Halloween was great! Between all of the photos that you added to your post and how obviously passionate you are about the holiday, this entry was super fun to read! You also managed to balance a lot of photos with how much writing you did. It felt full and professional at the same time. Good job!
