Halloween is one of those holidays that you don’t get off for school or work but is a very social holiday just for that reason. The meaning of Halloween changes as you grow up and here I am going to discuss how.
1. The best years
As a kid you have it the best. You can go to school and get candy there from your teachers then you go home and trick or treat with your friends with your parents around all the neighborhoods with the best candy for hours. You have your mom or dad carry the trash bag full of candy when it gets too heavy for you and if it’s too cold they can drive you in the car.
2. The relaxing years
These are the years when you start to think you are too cool for Halloween and to be a kid so you don’t trick or treat. Instead you pass out the candy and enjoy a Halloween themed movie or two in between doorbell rings.
3. The years that you can’t celebrate
These are the years that you have a test, game , or are travelling and you can’t do anything festive so they end up being the forgotten years for Halloween.
4. The college years
Halloween is back to being cool. You spend time figuring out what costume you are going to wear and what to be and where to go.
5. The group costume year
This is the year that the costume requires a lot more planning than usual because you have to coordinate with your group to figure out how to make it look as cool as possible.
6. The couples costume year
This one is pretty much the same deal so the group costume except it is with your significant other making it stands out just as much in your mind.
7. The years you celebrate at work
It’s fun to see your coworkers in a playful light compared to the serious vibes they usually give off so seeing people in costume for the party is a lot of fun.
8. The decorate the house no costume year
You decorate your house all things Halloween but you forget to get yourself a costume so your house outshines you this year.
9. The punny costume year
This is the year that you decide to do a pun as your costume. You think it is very clever but most people do not understand it.
10. The best years again
Whether it be your kids or your sister’s or friend’s kids you get to go back to trick or treating and you realize just how much you have missed doing it.
All in all, Halloween is a fun holiday for all ages where memories are made.
