One could look at the new feeling in the air – the fresh warm colors of the leaves bunching up under our feet, or the chill of the things going bump in the cool nights – and come up with only one conclusion: It must be getting close to Halloween!
This, in my opinion, is the best holiday. When else do we get the opportunity to dress up, be anyone we want, and not get strange looks if our hair is a little more green than usual? Since it’s the best holiday, we have to do it in the best way, and that means celebrating! So here’s my tips on how to get the best out of your All Hallows Eve!
- Dress Up Eventually at some point, most people feel like they’re too old to dress up. Not on Halloween! Some of the best and most original costumes I’ve seen have come from older people. And a major bonus is that age allows for a more detailed costume since your making/buying it yourself. Even if you’re just wearing it to greet the kids at the door, dressing up is what makes Halloween Halloween.
- Eat Candy Since the holiday seems to revolve around sugary stuff, why not indulge a bit? Me personally, I’m always trying to diet and exercise. But on Halloween I like to let it slip a bit. After all, what’s a good time without pumpkin shaped marshmallows? Plus, a lot of candy available on Halloween isn’t available any other time of year.
- Get your Ghouls together There’s nothing better to do on Halloween than a scary girls night out. Wear your costumes, hit a party, or maybe see a haunted house. The best Halloween adventures start with a few friends on board for the thrill.
- Decorate Nothing gets me in the Halloween spirit more than a few fake cobwebs hanging around and a glowing head here or there. You may not be the kind for decoration, but it’s worth the effort to see others gawk at your creepy crawly casa.
- Foody Food Food. Unlike some other holidays, Halloween isn’t all about the grub. On the other hand, some of the best foods are found around Halloween. Spider cookies, candied apples, cider, and skull cupcakes! All of it’s delicious and most of its easy to make yourself too!
- Enjoy the mood This one’s self explanatory. Don’t be the Scrooge of Halloween! Its one of the most fun holiday’s around so have fun with it!
So that’s my tips on having fun this Halloween! What do you guys like to do to make sure the Halloween season is spectacular? I’d love to hear it!
