Back in my days … THE EARLY 90s … Halloween was one of my favorite holidays.
Free candy, carving pumpkins, apple cider, hay rides, etc. etc.
Now I find this holiday as one of the MOST annoying and 0bnoxious holidays out there.
I feel there is so much pumped up talk about Halloween, and when it comes … It really isn’t anything that spectacular.
As we say good bye to warm weather, we say hello to who can wear the most revealing costume. It’s almost a contest of which girl can withstand the most wind and temperature drop. The prize? Self respect and a pat on the back? I think it is kind of silly.
I tried to go as a Snuggie-wearer and a stay at home mom (jeans, sneakers, sweater, soccer mom shirt) … No one was really feeling it.
Naughty nurse vs. wearing a backwards robe … Who do you think will be more comfortable and literally hotter ?
Last year, my friends and I were stuck in Austin’s 6th street. It took about 1 hour in traffic to go downtown, another hour to get out. The streets were packed to the brim. So that’s about 2 hours of seeing people who were not physically fit trying to squeeze into tight spandex. Gross. Gross. Gross. Maybe I’m just annoyed, because I’m at the age where I don’t deserve any candy. Clearly, in a few short years, I’m going to be one of crazy old people ranting on and on about the past.
To sum it up:
Girls, don’t wear a revealing costume unless you really have the body. Gross.
Girls, if you don’t have the body … don’t eat more Halloween candy. Gross.
Boys, oh a costume that has an underlying sexual innuendo … You are just about as creative and hilarious as every other person out there. Gross.
If there is one holiday that is underrated … it is obviously THANKSGIVING!
I’ll take a Thanksgiving dinner over a bucket of mediocre candy any day.
