I feel like people out there think that Halloween is a child’s holiday; that once you stop getting your clothes from baby Gap, you are no longer allowed to become giddy about it. As adults, we don’t even get the day off! But I am here to tell you that Halloween just plain rocks! We all need to get over ourselves (and perhaps our pride…) and start showing some love for this “kiddie holiday.” This is a list of my favorite aspects, but please leave a comment if you have more things to add!

1. I get to relax on my low-carb diet and eat candy until I or someone watching me throws up!
2. Trying to carve complex pumpkins that are beyond our artistic talent, then ruining them and having to go out and buy a new one to do the standard jagged mouth style…
3. Psychoanalyzing people’s costumes. Maybe someone wishes they were a woman, or a ghost, or… a serial killer!
4. You get to vandalize things. Actually, it is almost expected.
   
5. Scary movie marathons. Just lounging on a couch with someone who is really gullable always entertains me. Be forewarned, you may need to lay down newspaper on you sofa…
6. That fake spider web stuff that you tell your little cousin is “Halloween Style” cotton candy.
7. Giving the neighborhood kids fruit instead of candy. You wouldn’t believe the tempers those little runts have!
8. If you own a toilet paper manufacturer, your revenues will be great! [See reason number 4]
9. Things that would normally seem disgusting or scary in your neighborhood, such as rats and toothless drunkards, now seem to be appropriately festive.
10. On the 1st of November, candy prices go down fifty percent and having just given up your low carb diet, you decide to stock up for a natural disaster with butterfingers.
