It's only a little more than a month away, so Halloween is already being discussed in our town. It's on, though how many will participate is unknown.
Mrs. Veil and I usually go to my daughter's to pass out candy while they take the kids around the hood. In a normal year their neighborhood gets a ton of trick or treaters. The sidewalks are just jammed. Many are from outside the area, and that may be more true than ever now that some cities have banned the holiday this year. And--how do I know kids are wearing a face mask under that Halloween mask?
Needless to say, we've already told our daughter that we're going to take a pass this year. She understands.
Beyond that, it's a little early but we're talking about what Thanksgiving would be like. Ordinarily it's roughly 20 people crammed in an average size house. If my family insists on doing it that way, I'm out. And so is my mother.
Personally I'm thinking that if we do get together at all, it'll be in small groups. At my house that would be me, the Mrs., my mom, and my brother.
And even that gives me pause, simply because we'd be spending hours together indoors and face masks come off when you're eating.
What are your thoughts?
