Ok, so let me begin by saying that I love Halloween! I mean I really do love it, even as an adult. It ranks up there with Christmas and my birthday. October is for costume parties, decorating the house with spider webs and inflatable monsters, and eating all the candy you can get your hands on. I especially love that Halloween doesn’t have the anxiety and pressure that comes with other holidays.
Halloween really is stress-free
Now you might get a little stressed trying to put the finishing touches on your perfect costume, but you won’t be shopping for last minute presents or cooking the huge dinner while hosting your extended family. There are no themed photos with coordinated outfits to pull together or cards to send out either. It is just fun!
Costume Time
The best thing about Halloween costumes is that you can go over the top and hand-stitch the most elaborate costume, or pull together something at the last minute. It’s just fun getting dressed up! Even as an adult, I still love putting a good themed-costume together. Halloween lets you express yourself in the best way possible.

Decorations
Halloween décor is the best, whether your style is cute and sophisticated or scary with special effects. Bring on the glittered pumpkins, carved jack-o’-lanterns, and 12 foot tall skeleton in the front yard – I am here for it!
Halloween Candy
Halloween candy calories don’t count. I read it on the internet, so it must be true – right? Honestly, I could eat my weight in Halloween candy, and I don’t even feel bad about it. Here is to all the green apple suckers, Skittles, and Sweet Tarts. I’ll just be sure to brush my teeth twice on Halloween night.
Halloween Movie night
What better way to get in the Halloween spirit than turning off the lights, grabbing some delicious snacks, and putting on a scary movie? From It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown to Halloween and everything in between, there is a movie for everyone. My top three choices are Hocus Pocus, Beetlejuice, and any of the Scream movies.
Here’s to the most wonderful time of the year! I hope your Halloween is frightful, fun, and filled with tons of candy!
