Halloween

Halloween is probably one of my least favorite holidays. Although I like the part where people get creative to come up with a costume, the rest of it is kind of weird.

 

I’m going to start with cabbage night, the night before Halloween, where people buy loads of eggs, toilet paper, and whatever else people can waste their time with. Then when night rolls around, they go out and TP or egg people’s property or cars respectively. It’s all a waste, especially forking. That’s the most pointless thing you could ever do. You put hundreds of forks in the ground. So what? They just take them out. What’s so amazing about it? It’s the largest waste of time. It’s pointless.

 

Then there’s the actual holiday. The whole idea is kind of weird. Nowadays, it usually revolves around grotesque ideas like detached body parts or rotting corpses coming to life. Ghosts, witches, etc. It also includes surprising people by jumping out at them. Then there’s trick-or-treating. I’ve always wondered who came up with the idea of coming to someone’s house while dressed up in a costume asking for candy that you trust is safe to eat. It is pretty fun, though, and the candy is always good. A place near where I live gives out chicken, I believe. (The ready-to-eat chicken, not the actual animal)

 

The ideas of playing pranks or even vandalizing were never something that I really liked to do. Additionally, the grotesqueness of Halloween is kind of weird as well. That’s why it ranks under most holidays for me, but the creativeness and the candy involved in it keeps it from being bottom. Also, I like seeing the results of cabbage night. So it’s alright.

Anyway, happy Halloween!
