CHARLOTTETOWN — A single plastic pumpkin, purchased at a local dollar store in 2018, has been deemed sufficient Halloweeen decor for this year by local resident Stan McQuaid.
“I mean, I’m in an apartment with security doors, and there’s no kids on this floor that I know of,” says McQuaid, 27, who lives alone.
“There’s no sense in getting a lot of decorations up when no one will see them.”
“Last year, I only had two trick-or-treaters, and they were Linda’s kids,” added McQuaid, referring to his neighbor who moved out in January. “I probably don’t even need to buy candy to give out.”
“Besides, I usually go all-out for Christmas,” said McQuaid. “My three-foot-tall artificial Christmas tree really shows that I’m in the spirit of the season.”
At press time, McQuaid was seen going through his third box of Halloween chocolates this week.
