Halloween has come and passed, but there’s still pumpkins lying around, so hey this blog is still relevant. No matter the age: babies, young trick-or-treaters, older trick-or-treaters, the awkward stage being just a bit too old to trick-or-treat, and adults, there’s one meaning behind Halloween: true, unadulterated happiness. Try not to be happy on Halloween. Tell me you’re not and I’ll tell you you’re lying or you’re just a generally unhappy person.
This Halloween, in the frozen tundra of Philadelphia, snow and freezing rain were pegging chilled faces all weekend. I must say, not the ideal conditions. Regardless of the weather, plenty of people could still be seen donning their costumes more proud than ever. If you put effort into the costume, it’s definitely important to get some notice. That’s how it should be. Even if it is a last minute throw-together costume, it should still have some meaning and once again, it all goes back to the happiness.
Halloween means it’s time for plenty of Halloween parties and costumes are the ultimate conversation starters. Just a simple “Ohhhhhhh, I get it,” or “Weak costume, bro,” is a sure-fire way to have a pleasant Halloween conversation. For instance, at one point on the weekend, MC Hammer (me above) was having a conversation with Captain Morgan, a guy riding an ostrich, a can of Four Loko, and a homeless man. Now anywhere or anytime else, this probably wouldn’t be completely acceptable, but this motley crew fits right in on Halloween.
Personally, I’m a big fan of summer, but when it starts to get chilly here, football, hockey, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and snowboarding begin and summer becomes just a distant memory. So now, it’s time to put the sweaters on, zip up the jackets, and enjoy what the season has in store for us.
