Remember this post where we discussed what “Happiness Is” to
us? And remember how we all tweeted and Instagrammed various things with the
#HappinessIs hashtag throughout that day?
Let’s do it again. But this time, let’s theme it (!!)
Fun-Size Candy
Even though I think it’s more fun to devour a regular or even king-size candy bar, I’m a sucker for anything miniature. These included.
Scary (and Non-Scary) Movies
We touched on this briefly yesterday, but I love the shows
and movies surrounding this holiday. A few of my must-sees every year include:
-Hocus Pocus
-Beetlejuice
-Halloweentown (and the three sequels that followed)
-Sleepy Hollow
-The Others
-Travel Channel’s Most
Haunted series
Trick ‘or Treating
I hate that it’s frowned upon for adults to trick ‘or treat,
however I have almost as much fun handing out candy at home. I love to brew up
a pot of apple cider and spend extra time putting out Halloween décor to make
our doorstep look inviting.
Monster Cookies
Again, touched on this yesterday, but I love these
Halloween-themed cookies. Other must-bake treats include:
Old Fashioned Rice Krispy Treats
Caramel Dipped Apple Pops
Salty Caramel Corn - here
Costume Parties
I’m so sad that we didn’t get to throw one this year, but
I’m already brainstorming themes for next year. I love a good costume and REALLY
love the fine art of getting dressed up for no particular reason.
Ghoulish Music
To get in the mood for All Hallow’s Eve, I turn to Pandora.
The following stations are on my current rotation.
Heads Will Roll
Heads Will Roll
Harry Potter The Essentials
Monter Mash
Thriller

ReplyDeleteFall brings tons of happiness, I'm sure I can think of a few ;) PSL for one!
ReplyDeletefun size candy is happiness!! haha it's happiness in your mouth well then so again are monster cookies!
ReplyDeleteI'm avoiding candy this year! Or at least trying to. I got some for the very few kiddos we get (as well as books for All Hallow's Read) and will be storing left overs for another time!
ReplyDeleteMasks make me happy.

Well, we don't get trick or treaters at my house so I never buy candy for Halloween.
ReplyDeleteBUT, thanks for the Pandora idea. I wanted to make the day at work a bit "celebratory" so I've put that on with Halloween genre playing all day!!
