You’ll Howl at These Funny Halloween Sayings!
Halloween tops my reasons why Fall is my favorite season. As much as I love Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, Halloween night is my favorite night. That may be because Halloween marks the beginning of the holidays, and New Year’s Eve brings the holiday season to a close.
Whatever the reason for loving All Hallows’ Eve, getting into the Halloween spirit rolls right into the spirit of the rest of the holidays.
Halloween gives you permission to be a little less mature. It’s not simply okay to dress up. Dressing up is encouraged. Halloween is a great time to make crude jokes and talk about creepy-cool topics, to turn a bowl of grapes into a bowl of eyeballs.
This time of year gives you the latitude to explore the dark and creepy. You get to have fun with things like vampires and ghosts. People might think you’re weird if you’re talking about witches and mummies in July. I know this from monthly personal experience.
