Halloween is a holiday that most people celebrate by dressing up and getting candy. Many kids around the world go out on Oct. 31 to trick-or-treat. Most kids would say it’s the best holiday because they get to wear costumes and get free candy.
In many people’s opinion, Halloween is the best compared to other holidays like Christmas. The reason why it’s the best is because there’s no other holiday like it—you get to see everyone wearing silly costumes. So, Halloween might really be the best holiday.
Halloween is the best because it doesn’t require gifts, so you don’t have to stress about what to buy people. You can do whatever you want—dress up, watch a scary movie, or skip family gatherings if you want to. People of all ages can celebrate however they want, like throwing a small party with friends or just hanging out and eating candy. No matter your age, you can enjoy Halloween with anyone you want.
Around Halloween season, everywhere has candy, pumpkin spice everything, donuts from Dunkin’ and, of course, a pumpkin spice latte from any coffee shop. Halloween also has the best weather—it’s not too cold or too hot, so no sweating or freezing. The movies are always great too. There are scary ones like The Boogeyman, and there are kid-friendly ones like Ghostbusters and others.
Celebrating Halloween can be a whirlwind because people love to scare each other, especially little kids, if you go to a haunted house. People decorate their houses with pumpkins, skeletons and other Halloween decorations. Kids go door to door getting tons of candy, then get sugar highs and crash when they get home—but hey, it’s free candy. Who doesn’t want that?
Some people believe Halloween can be dangerous because of “stranger danger.” Kids and parents often go door to door, and you never know what someone could do to the candy. Some people also hate horror and get scared easily. When they walk past clowns, monsters or other creepy costumes, they might go into fight-or-flight mode. And yes, kids can eat too much candy and end up sick—so it’s good to be careful.
If you scare easily, don’t go to haunted houses. Stick with people you trust and celebrate in a way that feels safe.
Overall, Halloween is the best holiday—as long as you’re careful and safe, you’ll have a great time.
