Prepare Your Boston Home for Halloween

Isn’t it hard to believe that All Hallows’ Eve will be upon us in less than a week? I hope you’ve been able explore all there is to see and do in Boston this season, and that your plans included a trip to the pumpkin patch. After all, it just doesn’t quite feel like Halloween until you’ve carved a Jack-o-Lantern.

As you put the finishing touches on your costume, it’s time to start thinking about heading to the grocery store so you can stock up on enough candy to satisfy all of the hungry trick-or-treaters who will knock at your front door. Once you’ve set a big bowl of Snickers and Skittles in your entryway, you may think you’re ready for the Halloween crowd. However, there are a few additional steps you can take to prepare your Boston home for Halloween.

Turn on your porch light. Make sure your Boston home is inviting and trick-or-treater friendly. With a well-lit exterior, you can also see who is approaching your front door.

Make sure your front walkway is well lit. Twigs and wet leaves combined with cumbersome costumes can make for a potentially dangerous situation.

Set out a bowl of candy. If you don’t plan to be home or aren’t comfortable answering the front door, leave a bowl of candy on your front porch.

Minimize the risk of fire. By replacing wax candles with flameless candles, you’re covered if an over-eager trick-or-treater knocks over one of your Jack-o-Lanterns.

By taking these simple precautions, your Boston home will be inviting, safe, and festive this Halloween night. Do you have any additional tips as to how you prepare your Boston home for Halloween?
