What is the very first thing you do to kick off the season? Is it a specific candle you light, a coffee order, or finally dragging the boxes out of the attic?

The very first thing we usually do is have a spooky movie marathon, eating spooky snacks, while having some halloween-themed scented wax melts (that I make) melting filling the house with the smell of Halloween/Fall! 🍁🎃✨

the first Saturday of October each year in my hometown finds a "fall festival" (generally and not necessarily Halloween in nature in and of itself) on the town square. that evening, the local county historical society and county museum has a fund raiser event at the town's old cemetery (that dates back to 1800-1810 around the time the town was founded) where people in period dress portray actual people buried there with a 5-10 minute "speech" in character about their life based on historical documents, journals, diaries, etc. It's a great way to support the local history entities and get a little spooky at the same time :)
