How can you celebrate Halloween without going trick-or-treating? It's a lot easier than you think and I'm here to tell you all about it.
For the past few years, as long as I can remember, I've been trick-or-treating with either my dad or my siblings, and I loved it. Now, I'm a preteen, and I have to admit that going trick-or-treating is not as fun as it used to be. Sure, I enjoy dressing up in my favorite character costume, but going door to door bundled up if the weather isn't nice isn't my idea of fun anymore.
If you're like me and you would rather stay at home this year for Halloween, or you're looking for other ways to celebrate Halloween without going trick-or-treating, you've come to the right place because I've got some ways to share with you.
But if you do decide to go trick-or-treating, don't leave home without checking our Halloween Safety Checklist.
