Decorations That Fit Our Vibe Okay, so maybe we’re not up for climbing ladders to hang spooky lights anymore (although if you are, more power to you!). But there are plenty of low-effort, high-impact ways to decorate your home for Halloween: - Front porch pumpkin display: Carving pumpkins is fun, but let’s be honest—it’s a bit messy. Instead, paint funny or spooky faces on pumpkins and set them on your porch for an easy, crafty touch. - Glow-in-the-dark ghosts: Drape white sheets over garden stakes or lawn chairs, add glow sticks underneath, and voilà—ghosts! No heavy lifting required. - Talking skeletons: Hang a skeleton on your front door and give it a quirky sign that says, "Still Waiting for My Retirement Check" or "I've Got a Bone to Pick with You!" because, hey, Halloween is the time to show off our sense of humor. Halloween Parties: Senior Edition Who says Halloween parties are just for the younger crowd? Throw a “senior spook-tacular” with a few friends and make it a night to remember (and laugh about later). - Costume contest: Get everyone to dress up, and have a contest for the best “classic” look (think Old Hollywood), the funniest, and the scariest. A prize could be as simple as a bag of candy or bragging rights for the year. - Bobbing for Apples? Nah, Pumpkin Bowling! Set up a few plastic bowling pins (or soda bottles) and use small pumpkins as bowling balls. Less mess, more laughs. - Scary Movie Marathon: Gather your friends, make some popcorn, and throw on some classic horror movies. For those not into the spooky stuff, feel free to swap out “scary” for some old comedies, like “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein”—spooky and silly at the same time! More to come tomorrow. Stay tuned.
