Back to the Future, with the Balinos, FAM-O-WEEN/ Halloween 2021
It’s 2021 and, well… not much has changed as far as the worries and uncertainties of 2020. Yes, we have since been fortunate to be offered vaccines and hope for a new day – but life has yet to be back to how it once was, pre-pandemic.
To offset these daily struggles, we find it helpful to stop pining for the past, and start looking forward to a brighter future.
And that was the exact direction we decided to go for this year’s FAM-O-WEEN:
BACK TO THE FUTURE… Post-Pandemic!
You know what I mean – a future where kids can play without caution.
(Just like my happy little Smallie Mcfly over here)
A future where we can get dolled up for events, and not worry about having to mask up, covering our anxiety-free, smiling faces. (Like George – playing himself, the stand-up-to-Biff version of George McFly).
A future where moms aren’t sending their kids to school in fear of the plethora of viruses making its way home, only to open yet another gateway to endless worry. (That is all this Mama McFly could hope for… sigh).
A future where we can explore and nurture our curiosity and sense of adventure, without concerning ourselves about social distance and hand washing protocol. (Little Doc Smalls over here could use a life where he isn’t sprayed from head to toe with sanitizer every 2 minutes).
As the great Doc. Emmett Brown once said, “Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one.”
What we need, is to go Back to the Future where we can hug with no reservations, hand out candies the old fashioned way, and gather and interact with our neighbours without fear, scrutiny, and judgement.
ONE DAY – it will happen.
Meanwhile… is it 2022 yet?
Happy FAM-O-WEEN – whether you’re staying in or going out – Stay safe and most of all, have fun!
First of all, I would like to commend you on your costumes it is so beautiful, and all of you look really good in them. Lastly, I think we have the same wish, that this pandemic will end so that everyone can freely hug and kiss our loved ones without any fears.
