While you were busy trying to get (read: drink) through the anxiety-inducing presidential debates this October, it’s possible that Halloween (and the costume-planning) snuck up on you. Or perhaps your kids decided the day before Halloween that they no longer want to wear that costume you spent $39.99 on over a month ago.
