Put the WE in HalloWEen
Halloween approacheth, and I don’t care how costume-averse you may be, there are multiple other ways to HIVE on this holiday.
There are two great things about Halloween, in my opinion:
1) CANDY, and
2) Visiting peoples homes (a.k.a. their “hives.”)
I have never lived in a house that was conducive to the random trick-or-treater, so I try to create a reason to pure people over, like by hosting a masked game night on Halloween or just inviting friends to join me in eating sugary candy on the one night per year that it’s universally accepted.
Then, of course, you can kick off the Halloween “season” by carving a pumpkin — which, if you don’t remember from childhood, is a delightfully messy and wondrous craft activity. THIS WEEK’S Hiving::2nd Annual Pumpkin Carving CraftNight is sure to be the best option for doing so: we’ll provide the pumpkin and the carving materials, and a cash bar within reach, should the competition get stressful. Plus, you’ll be hanging with your friends and other hiving::partiers, not bratty Eddie from down the street who used to steal all your best jack-o-lantern ideas.
Finally, if you are lucky enough to live somewhere where mini-Pokemon and Princesses might visit you, don’t just give away candy at the door, try to HIVE, by inviting parents in for a sip from your ghoulish tea kettle or some other, more potent concoction. It’s a night of revelry, teeming with togetherness possibilities.
