Who Doesn't Love Halloween

There is so much to do during the fall season in Montana, from corn mazes to haunted houses and even just driving around to see all the Halloween decorations in the neighborhood yards.

But when it comes to fall fun, nothing tops getting dressed up in your costume and going door to door trick-or-treating and filling up your pumpkin pail full of candy.

If, however, you are the one handing out the candy during this Halloween, you may notice a few kids come to your door holding a blue pumpkin pail and wondering what it means.

What Is The Meaning Behind Blue Pumpkin Pails?

According to Readers Digest, the reason you'll see kids carrying blue pumpkins this Halloween is because of the following:

Primarily, blue pumpkins are used by families and caregivers to signal to others that their child is on the autism spectrum (and that trick-or-treating exchanges may present unique perplexities for them) to prompt neighbors to be more aware of the situation in the moment.

Some kids on the spectrum might be non-verbal, so they won't be saying trick-or-treat at the top of their lungs when they ring your doorbell.

Blue pumpkin pails won't be the only color you see Halloween night; check out the gallery below for the meaning behind some other colored pumpkins you might come across this year.
