Sherlene Stevens: What To Do When You Don't Celebrate Halloween

The national day of Halloween is October 31, yearly.

Halloween has always been an interesting topic for faith-believers, and those who do not celebrates the festive season. What do you do when your neighbor(s) faithfully celebrate the day, but you don't?
  • Do not place any colors of red, orange-and-black, or black-and -white decor outside your unique home style;
  • The day of Halloween, remove any outside decor or furniture to avoid tampering;
  • The evening of Halloween, manually turn off your outside lighting; 
  • If trick-or-treaters come a knockin' simply don't answer the door. You may want to darken your lighting inside your home style, too;
  • Do not call 911 for children simply having fun or being a little too noisey;  
  • Check with your local town, some communities have a specific day and time for the event; 
  • If you work from home, you may want to plan your week accordingly; Lastly,
  • If still feel uncomfortable with these suggestions, plan to go out for the day and evening. Plan ahead if you want to find a non-Halloween event or entertainment within your local community.
