I get it, Halloween is fun. It's probably the only day of the year when it is not only acceptable but expected, to dress up in a ridiculous costume and eat candy all night long. I really don't have anything personal against Halloween, I've just never been the biggest fan of it.

BUT that doesn't mean I don't still love fall and October and all of the wonderful things it has to offer. I've listed here some things that you can do this October that don't involve any spooks or scares!

Dress up in your coziest fall clothes.

Even though it's probably still 85 degrees outside.

Just go ahead and start listening to Christmas music now.

Tbh I don't normally support premature Christmas jams, but it's not like there's any good Halloween music out there.

Go to the movies... and not watch a scary movie.

Yes, they do in fact exist.

Visit a pumpkin patch.

At the very least, get a pic for the Insta.

Drink a pumpkin spice latte.

Like literally just sit in a coffee shop and appreciate the fact that fall is finally here.

Extra points if you're by a window and can watch the leaves fall while listening to folk music.

Bake something yummy.

Burn one of your Bath and Body Works candles while you're at it for extra yummy smells!

Watch playoff baseball.

Watch Halloweentown (AKA the only Halloween movie you'll ever get me to watch).

 Smell every fall-scented candle at Bath and Body Works.

Instagram

Find a fair or fall festival near you.

Think corn dogs and ferris wheels. The more fried food, the better!

Use the money you aren't spending on Halloween costumes to buy more pumpkins.

Have a (non-scary) movie marathon at home!

Harry Potter, Back to the Future, Twilight, the possibilities are endless! Grab your coziest blankets and your best friends and get ready for a fall day well spent.

Go to a corn maze.

A not scary one, of course.

 Stock up on Halloween candy for yourself.

 Go to a Farmer's market.

Instagram

This is a great thing to do more often than just October, but it's a proven fact that everything is just more exciting when pumpkins are involved.

 Watch Friday Night Lights.

The show, the movie, or an actual Friday night football game. Any and all are acceptable.

 Go thrift shopping to add to your fall sweater collection.

Or just raid your grandpa's closet.

 Make one of those cute autumn wreaths for your front door.

Instagram

Or another fun craft to show just how much you love fall.

 Skip out on the Halloween parties and drink more pumpkin spice lattes instead.

 Enjoy October for what it is - truly one of the best times of the year.

If you are one of those people who considers Halloween a part of "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year," I hope you don't take this article personally. Maybe you never realized how truly versatile this time of year is!
