I had an idea. Small paper cups. Candy could be put in small paper cups, set out on a table near the street.
The weather forecast is clear. The moon is full. Halloween is on a *Saturday*. It's perfect, except for that matter of a world-wide pandemic going on.
Mom has a pumpkin and reportedly has lost her pumpkin-carving volunteer. I could carve the pumpkin and put it by the treats.
Even if no one stops to get any treats, jack-o-lantern would still be doing its thing, filling the evening with Halloween Spirit. I wouldn't need to feel like I've been feeling, that I'm copping out on Halloween.
.
Then again... Having a table full of untouched, unwanted cups of treats out in full view of everyone driving by all evening... the ignominy of it all... at least when the untouched treats are inside, you're not putting yourself all out there... maybe it would make the jack-o-lantern sad, not to have anyone even stop... who am I, to put a poor jack-o-lantern through such an ordeal...
