Halloween decorations in March? We are so here for that. Could setting up seasonal yard decorations during the coronavirus quarantine be just the thing to cheer up your neighbors?

One family in Madison, Alabama decided to take the opportunity to communicate quarantine hygiene. Finn Walker, age 15, helped put together their Quarantineoween display. “We didn’t have any good Christmas decorations so we decided to use our Halloween skeletons. I just thought it would be light-hearted and remind people to wash their hands in a fun way.”

Other parts of the country are putting up their Christmas lights, or creating huge Easter decoration displays. With extra time on their hands, some families find working on something together takes their mind off the pandemic and on happier times.

The mayor of Tulsa, OK is actually encouraging residents to take part. “I know this seems pretty insignificant when people are facing unemployment and illness,” the mayor said. “When you’re going through a dark time, it can help to see a light in the darkness.” (Tulsa World)
