Halloween Additionals

Prompt: Adding to Halloween
Do you like Halloween, and if you were to choose a new holiday tradition to add to the Halloween events and festivities, what would that be?

-----------

I'm okay with Halloween, although not too crazy about it. I guess, I can come up with a few Halloween ideas that could make Halloween a bit more fun.

I think a costume show-and-tell party would be nice and it would encourage imaginative powers. Everyone who attends the party has to talk about their costume, either by how it was made or by making up stories about the costume.

Another idea could be a pumpkin scavenger hunt, something similar to Easter egg-hunt. People can hide mini pumpkins or pumpkin-shaped items around the house or yard, and if at night, those items can be painted or sprayed a bit with glow-in-the-dark paint. This could be for adults and children alike.

Yet, another idea would be leaving secret Halloween gifts at people's yards and doorsteps. I don't know how this would take though, because people would want to reciprocate and it would take some preplanning; in which case, it would be a good idea to inform the whole street, neighborhood, or the ones you want to play with. This way the ones who are playing your gift-giving-game can pick and choose who they will surprise with their gifts and won't know from whom they have received their own gifts.

Why not, therefore, make Halloween a bit more fun by taking it lightly instead of fearing the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead as the origins of this holiday suggested!
