While this doesn’t just apply to people with disabilities, it can be worth it to consider a few non-candy alternatives for people with various dietary restrictions. On top of that, as is pretty visible with some of the costumes here, trick-or-treaters might not be able to properly see or access your goodies, so also think about ways to make your stash easier to reach and see. It never hurts to be able to explain what exactly you have on offer.

The modern version of Halloween costumes and trick-or-treating isn’t actually that modern. Itwas first recorded in 1911, in Kingston, Ontario.

As Victorian norms dissipated, adults began to feel more comfortable celebrating as well.
