7 Ways To Celebrate Halloween With Your Family From Home

This year thing will be pretty different in the country; then, they are normally thanks unfortunately to the coronavirus pandemic.

While it is still uncertain where we will stand with the healthcare scenario by the time the holiday arrives, more and more parents are already losing hope in any sense of normality.

So, it makes sense to begin making plans for how to best enjoying your time while stuck at home this year instead.

Top At-Home Holiday Ideas for 2020

These ideas are all easy and do not cost much of anything, so they should be accessible.

You do not have to try out every idea but ask each of your family members to pick their favorite and try it out this year.

Carve a family of pumpkins as a family

Pumpkin carving has always been one of the biggest traditions in the holiday. Instead of simply carving a single pumpkin this year, why not get the whole family involved?

Get a pumpkin for each of your family members and the tools to carve them. Give each of the family members the pumpkins, and then you can all as a family create a family of jack-o’-lanterns.

Ask everyone to pick out their favorite scary movie and have a marathon

There are a ton of great movies available that are perfectly in the spirit of the holiday. Having a movie marathon of everyone’s favorite scary movies is a great way to pass the time this year stuck at home.

Go on a haunted camping trip in your backyard

If you want to give your family a truly immersive experience, then take them camping deep into the backyard.

You can make it as exciting as you can with the power of imagination. Being outside at night is slightly different from staying inside of your home, but it can definitely open up the spirit of the holiday some for you.

Put on costumes at home

Wearing costumes is probably the most memorable part of everyone’s holiday each year. Just because you are going to be stuck at home this year does not mean that you cannot dress up in a costume.

You can have a costume contest at home with all of your friends and family members. Have everyone come over and wear their favorite costumes, and then you can select a judge who decides on the winner.

Please give a prize to the person who wins the costume contest too. That would give them something always to remember this year, even if they did not get to go out and go trick-or-treating.

Create a Halloween piñata

Using paper-mâché and other basic craft materials, you can make a high-quality homemade piñata filled with candy.

Probably the most popular style of piñata is the ones in the shapes of arachnids. There are also many other designs that you can find online available for free.

Decorate the interior and exterior of your home

Decorations are key for ambiance during the holidays. If you do not decorate your house effectively, then it won’t feel like the holidays at all.

If you were going to be stuck at home all of the holidays this year, you might go all out on decorating the house. Ask each of your family members for inspiration and ideas on how to decorate best the exterior and interior of your home this year.

Give out candy to trick-or-treaters

Even if you are not going to take your children out to go trick-or-treating, that does not mean that no children will be going out. There will likely be trick-or-treaters that stop by your home throughout the night.

Start your house up on candy and give it to them in the name of the holiday spirit. This will let you still take part in the holiday spirit, but you can also stay out of the public to ensure everyone’s health.

Take turns telling scary stories at night

The power of imagination can be frightful. If you are a creative person and enjoy scary stories, see if you can’t make your own.

If you have other family members who enjoy sharing scary stories, you can all take turns around a fire telling each other scary stories the whole night.

Make your stories as scary and creepy as you want and enjoy this Halloween at home with those you love.
