Cupid’s Advice:

Halloween is the perfect time for families to come together and have fun, while enjoying the company of one another. On the actual holiday, trick-or-treating and themed parties are always the way to go.  Cupid has some ways you can celebrate Halloween as a family:

1. Jump then fall: Take a cue from Taylor Swift’s song ‘Jump Then Fall’ and dive straight into the beautiful season of fall/autumn. A great way to enjoy the Halloween season with your family, is by doing fun Halloween activities! Make Halloween arts and crafts, create your costumes together, do Halloween baking and make yummy sweets, watch Halloween movies (you have the option of scary or funny) and carve and paint pumpkins together. There are so many great options for you to enjoy the festive Halloween season as a family!

2. Pumpkin patch: A fantastic way to have quality family time is by going to a pumpkin patch, for the traditional act of pumpkin picking. Usually, places will offer hay rides and other fun activities along with it. There are also places to go apple picking, which fits in with the theme of fall and family fun.
