Halloween is coming up, people. It's next Monday, which means this weekend is: yes, you guessed it; Halloweekend. And while Halloween is actually only on one day, it is celebrated the entire weekend (and sometimes even the entire weekend before too). You don't just have to go Trick or Treating in order to celebrate Halloween; there are plenty of options:
Watch Halloween-themed movies
Halloween (as well as the weekend before) is a great time to watch Halloween movies. I, personally, get too scared with really scary movies (no joke-I'm 21 years old but I'll have nightmares for weeks), but I do love to watch the classic not-too-scary Halloween-themed movies (like Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown).
Pass out (and eat) candy
Just because you're too old to go out and ask strangers for candy doesn't mean it isn't fun to pass out candy in the comfort of your own home. You can sit on the couch all night (watching the halloween-themed movies), and have a perfect excuse to eat all the extra candy when you only have four trick-or-treaters. And the best part is, you get to see all of the cute kids in their costumes.
Dress up with your significant other or your friends
There is nothing more fun on Halloween (except for the staying home and eating candy thing) than to coordinate a costume with your friend or your significant other (even if you decide last minute what you're going to be). Just imagine how cute your instagram posts from the night will be.
Throw a Halloween Party
Yea, sure, you can show off your costume at a bar, but what's even more fun is throwing your own party that you can invite all your friends to. You don't have to deal with cover charges, strangers, or going out in the cold while you go from bar to bar. Plus, you get to decorate and buy halloween-themed treats and drinks!
Carve pumpkins
What is a better time to carve pumpkins than the weekend before Halloween? The answer is: there's no better time. Carve a bunch of different designs that you can put on your front porch to look festive for Halloween night!
Go trick-or-treating (with kids)
Yes you're too old to go trick-or-treating (I promise, you can't get away with it). But if you have nieces and nephews, or even little cousins, you can get away with going along for the walk, seeing them in their costumes, and maybe tricking them into giving you some of their candy afterwards.
