31 Ways to Celebrate Halloween if You're Not a Halloween Person

When I was little, I joined in on all the Halloween hooplah because the candy was delicious and the Disney princess costume options were endless. Now that I am almost 20, I have fallen into the category of someone who is "not a Halloween person".

I don't love dressing up in costumes and I don't really have a good reason besides just being un-creative in the fashion department to throw something together. I also am not crazy about consuming large amounts of candy...I'd really rather have a smoothie. Is that weird?

I'm really excited to be co-hosting this #galpalholiday link-up with Classy Cathleen and Seashells and Sparkles and wouldn't you know it - the first post is Witches, Gouls, and Goblins.

So, for all you non-Halloween people, I've devised a list of 31 ways to celebrate if you're not a total zombie lover. Enjoy!  Be sure to check the end of the post and see all of the other posts involved in this linkup (a.k.a some great Halloween-inspired recipes, the dish on scary movies, and some costume ideas, too!) And don't forget to visit Rachel and Cathleen's blogs!


So here you go ya'll - 31 ways to celebrate if you're not partying or trick-or-treating:

1. carve pumpkins
2. watch a romantic comedy instead of a scary movie
3. put on a face mask and declare it your "Halloween costume"
4. bake something festive
5. wear Halloween pajamas around the house
6. paint your nails like candy corn
7. watch a Disney channel Halloween movie (Twitches is pretty scary, yeah?)
8. hand out candy to trick-or-treaters
9. be a designated driver for your friends (wear your vampire fangs to be extra festive)
