It's that time again and I couldn't be more thrilled. Of course Christmas and Thanksgiving are feel good holidays that let you spend time with family and friends, but Halloween gives me a completely different feeling. If you're uncanny like me and think you love Halloween just as much...than you understand my reasoning behind being totally obsessed with All Hallows Eve. Here are just a few things to justify my fixation:
Spooky movies
My October nights are consumed with poorly made scary movies and Disney films galore. Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown, Under Wraps etc., these movies give me life, no matter how many times I re-run them.
Decorations
Covering the house in artificial spider webs and unrealistically large spiders was both the best and worst park about Halloween, however; the aftermath definitely made it worth it. While the inside of the house is always filled with black, orange and anything spooky.
Costumes
Watching your costume come together after days or weeks of planning is such a satisfying feeling. Right after Halloween I think of what I will be the following year, it's a cycle really.
Candy
Candy corn, chocolates, gummies; oh my! This night...month to come is an excuse in itself to absolutely devour some Halloween candy. I mean you can't let all of that leftover trick or treat candy go to waste...that's a crime.
Trick or treating
Even if you're too old too partake, half of the fun is watching how many Elsa's arrive at your doorstep or the ridiculously cute costumes parents come up with.
Halloween parties
Hopefully the parties you've been too haven't been as awkward as the one in Mean Girls. If they have been, it's not a big deal because in college Halloween is pretty much a week event, so get ready to have multiple costumes on deck and ready to go. Halloween parties include most of the things mentioned above and that's why they are so awesome.
Pumpkin carving
Even though this years new fad is painting pumpkins and carving pineapples, you can't beat old fashioned pumpkin carving.
Pillsbury sugar cookies
The best part about these is you don't have to cook them...am I right, or am I right?
