If we're being honest, this year has not been filled with a great deal of thrilling highs.
Yes, leaving the house once a day to go for a run did have a certain ritualistic appeal in lieu of literally anything more exciting, but precisely one mile into the jog any lingering enjoyment soon began to wear off.
And as England puts in place new restrictions in the face of a rise in coronavirus cases - particularly among younger people - the notion of a 'normal' Christmas is beginning to look more than a little unlikely.
Watch Heidi Klum going through makeup for one of her incredible Halloween costumes:Summer holidays have been put on hold in many cases, as flights ground to a halt and quarantine restrictions are hastily brought in - a baffling array of countries that seems to change with each passing week.
What I'm trying to say, is that traditional forms of fun have been hard to come by in 2020.
While we've all done admirable work to keep ourselves entertained as we spend much more time than usual in our own homes, I'm sure I speak for the vast majority when I say that a return to the regrettable era of Zoom quizzes would represent such an admission of failure as to be hard to contemplate.
As such holiday events like Halloween are likely to feel more than a different to the usual spooky fare this year. Though that doesn't have to mean that it's not fun. You could get a special Halloween tree to bring some spooky vibes to the neighborhood.
And one Mom and Dad have come up with an altogether ingenious solution to the traditional approach of trick-or-treating, creating a 'candy slide' to safely dispense goodies.
Parents of two Jamie and Jay shared the project on their YouTube page, Wicked Makers, and while making the slide will require a little know-how and graft, the end result looks more than worth it.
The parents went for a skeleton theme for their slide, though the opportunity is clearly there to let your imagination run wild with the slide's decoration.
Whatever your Halloween plans this year, it's vital to observe social distancing, practice good personal hygiene and follow the coronavirus rules of the area you live in.
