Let’s be honest, this year hasn’t been great! Viruses, diseases, lockdowns, shock horror…… ZOOM QUIZZES – it certainly has been intense.

But if there is one thing we can always rely on, it is the desire to dress up at Halloween (and consume our body weight in chocolate and sweet treats!) And 2020 is most definitely no exception!

According to data from Google, looking at the current search trends in America, it looks like a real mixed bag out there…..maybe in more ways than one, but this isn’t a political post!
