Halloween cancelled

patbz — Thu, 06 Aug 2020 16:06:44 GMT

W Knotts Berry Farm etc. Also costume and candy sales expected to tank. I'm sure the other Fall/Winter holidays are next. Do you think we'll see Times Square NYE this year?

I think all events for the rest of the year and even into 2021 have been or will be cancelled.

THUD!

Pat, maybe the ball will be dropped but in attendance will be very few who can stand in as representatives. A possible list: The mayor of NYC; perhaps the state governor; and, to make it feel familiar, Ryan Seacrest. What would New Year's Eve be if it did not "rock"?

Pipe in "Auld Lang Syne" to keep a feeling of tradition and a continuation of life as we knew it. We need hope more than anything now.

Maybe some Frank Sinatra could be broadcast after the ball has dropped. Of course I'm thinking of "New York, New York." Something to lift our spirits.

@patbz No way. Even if a vaccine is rushed through late fall there will not be enough time for that to take effect in the masses and you cannot have a gathering like that in Times Square. It will not be permitted in NYC.

Lol!

I said this a couple months ago, and people didn't like my looking so far ahead.

I told you guys that this was gonna happen.

And while I'm at it, the Macy*s Thanksgiving Day parade will be CANCELLED.

Gathering in Times Square in New Year's eve will be CANCELLED.

@Anonymous032819 I have read these predictions all over the internet for months. Sorry to say but you can stop patting yourself on the back. People aren't as stupid as you think.

When Disney canceled their "Mickey's not so scary Halloween party" on Halloween night, my husband was so upset but we got our money refunded for the tickets and come Halloween night, we'll watch the parade from last year on youtube and eat candy.. might even wear our flashing Mickey pumpkin hats and my flashing Mickey necklace, LOL @ourselves..

I will be with my immediate family doing mini versions of all, so nothing will be cancelled. Maybe the commercialism will be but not the joy, togetherness or meaning. I love so many more families will spend Thanksgiving together than being at a Walmart ect.......

@patbz

There is nothing happening to make me think any of the large gatherings you mention will he held. It is likely going to be halfway through next year, at best, before it is safe. And that is thinking optimistically.

@Suziepeach As long as I can still watch It’s the great pumpkin, Charlie Brown, I’ll be fine. 😊

A bunch of cutouts of partiers filling Times Square like a baseball game.

yes, I think holiday celebrations will be canceled. I will be choosing not to allow my kids to trick-or-treat this year. I'll have to come up with something fun to do to make it a memorable day

I think the ball drop at Times Square on NYE has been cancelled along with the Macy’s Parade and Rockettes. Hope they will at least put up the tree at Rockefeller Center and allow ice skating with reduced numbers. You can’t just take everything away. That would be worse than the virus itself.

It was my wish we wouldn't have to carry these concerns into next year. Does anyone know how things have been going at Disney FL since their reopening? I have to think we will be able to start congregating after Christmas. I've accepted no family gatherings until January, but that's when my patience runs out.
