"Because we all know we've gone a little too far over the years. Social media has obviously changed how we feel about holidays - you can now find hundreds of thousands of reels every day about the latest Halloween decoration that's a "must-have," a long list of projects and bucket list items "every family should do," and a billion inspiring "so simple" Halloween ideas that really just make you feel overwhelmed."
"Let your kids choose their own costumes. And while we're talking about Halloween costumes, do the real '90s thing and let your kids choose their own. Even if it's hideous. Even if you wanted everyone to dress up as Stranger Things characters. Even if they don't even watch Paw Patrol. Who cares? It's Halloween. Let them choose. Making the Pillsbury Ready to Bake! cookies. Whether you choose the ghost shape or the pumpkins, these Pillsbury Ready to Bake! Cookies are a classic,"
Social media has transformed Halloween into a cycle of endless 'must-have' decorations, project lists, and overwhelming ideas. Returning to '90s Halloween traditions simplifies the holiday and restores warmth. Allow children to choose costumes freely, even if choices clash with parental preferences. Embrace convenient nostalgic treats like Pillsbury Ready to Bake! sugar cookies for reliable, stress-free baking. Use simple, familiar decorations such as pumpkin leaf bags to evoke seasonal charm. Prioritizing low-pressure activities and family-centered rituals creates a more relaxed, joyful Halloween experience focused on togetherness rather than perfection.
