Children who have been through trauma have more anxiety about the holidays which causes many to sabotage the actual Halloween night. Don’t worry parents! There is a way to help relieve some of that anxiety for your child. Surprise them with a Halloween Caroling night! Allow your children to dress up in their costume and go to neighbors homes, grandparents (being a grandma I can’t get enough of my grandkids!), aunts and uncles, and senior citizen homes and sing for them. It is a fun family activity and you might even get some free candy. You can end the evening at home drinking hot cider. I’ve included Halloween Carols (Halloween songs to Christmas music).

BUT THE MOST FUN IS SHRIEKING OUT LOUD;
SHIVERY YELLS, SHIVERY YELLS.
THAT’S THE HALLOWEEN NITTY-GRITTY
MOAN AND GROAN, LEAVE US ALONE;
HALLOWEEN’S JUST ONE NIGHT A YEAR.
