Halloween 2020

 This is a scary Halloween, to put it mildly.  

Not only do we have to be on the watch for 

ghosts, ghouls, witches and warlocks, 

but also for the invisible coronavirus lurking behind masks…

and traveling piggy back 

on a little goblin knocking at our front door. 

On this all hallow's eve….

PaulA and I have decided to participate in Halloween... 

at a ghoulish distance 

to avoid gremlin Covid germs.  

We have made up individual candy bags for the trick-or-treaters 

and are not going to allow them to attack the bowl full of candy…

like every year.

Paul had the brilliantly crazy idea of throwing a candy bag to each of them…

but I’m thinking not every 5 year old is a good catch.  

That has disaster plan written all over it.  

Plus I don’t want to get in trouble with any parent 

for throwing things at their kid.

So I will be masking up more than usual…

and dropping the bags of candy in their bucket 

from behind our glass front door.

I will be dressed as a gloved “Thing” from the Munsters…

exposing just my hand reaching around the door.

I’m wondering what costumes will be popular for 2020. 

There's the standard…scarecrow, pirate, and clown,

but I wouldn’t be surprised to see someone dressed as the

nasty...

 coronavirus, hand sanitizer or roll of toilet paper .

As crazy at it seems…

I would even take the days when kids dressed inappropriately as the nasty

 twerking Miley Cyrus  

over these days.  

Bring back 2013

Anywhooo…..

I don’t know about you, but every day feels like Halloween to me...

between masks

and

folks not being able to tell who you really are.

Halloween 2020 has got me thinking...

if people wearing masks were rewarded with a candy bar…

more folks would be all in.

I know 

I am definitely down for 

a Kit Kat bar 

every now and then.
