Halloween: a time for scary and spooky costumes or a time for fun halloween parties and candy? It all depends on how you personally celebrate it. For myself, I am not a huge fan of Halloween. However, there are fun aspects to it. Let’s cover a few of my favorite and least favorite parts of the upcoming holiday.
One of my favorite things about Halloween are the parties. As a kid and even as an adult, Halloween parties can be a blast. A party full of silly costumes, good food and fun games sounds like a great night to me. Honestly, Halloween parties as an adult are better than they were as a kid.
One of my least favorite things about Halloween are the costumes. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I am not a huge fan of Halloween costumes. Funny costumes will always get my vote but when it comes to inappropriate or scary costumes, I’d rather do without them. I will say that sometimes it may be fun depending on what I wear or what other people wear. I love seeing what other people wear but I just do not really like dressing up.
Another aspect of Halloween that I love are the movies; more specifically, the old Disney Channel Original Movies from when I was a kid. Just a few of my favorites include “Girl vs. Monster,” “Halloweentown” and “Hocus Pocus.” These movies just give off the best Halloween vibe that makes you want to cozy up on the couch with a blanket and a cup of hot chocolate or carve a pumpkin with your friends.
Halloween decor is another part of Halloween that I do not particularly like. This also may be an opinion that people will be surprised by, but I do not like Halloween decor. All of the blow-up inflatables and skeletons in the yard are just so tacky. All of the home decor that says “spooky season” or “boo” just makes me cringe. I would much rather decorate for fall than Halloween.
I don’t hate Halloween, but there are parts of it that I put up with to be able to celebrate the holiday the way I want to celebrate it. I’ll look past the cringey decor and scary costumes to be able to enjoy the parties and candy.
