After all of the serious stuff, let us now proceed to the fun part. As what I have
said earlier, the reason why kids usually get so excited for Halloween is because of trick-or-
treat-ing and because they get to wear cool costumes. With trick or treating, they
experience how fun it is to be a child and by wearing different costumes, it
brings out their inner creativity because as I mentioned before buying your
costume in a store is fun but making your own is awesome! With these two elements combined, the reason why
Halloween is a day to be remembered for kids is understandable.

First element: trick or treat!

You are probably aware of this, but I will explain it anyway for those who are not
familiar on how this one goes: in trick or treating, kids will usually knock on your door
asking you for some treats. It can be in the form of money at times, but lollies and desserts
are more likely what they are after. They usually bring beautifully decorated plastic bags
with them. When a household fails to give them
treats and turns them down, this is where things begin to be nasty. The children whom
you turned down will play a trick on you like hiding your pair of slippers (the simplest
that I could think of). After a couple of days, after you have given up looking for that
lost thing of yours, it will suddenly appear out of nowhere, because the children who
tricked you, will have returned it (that is if they are good kids).

Second element: costume party!

On second thoughts, Halloween does not necessarily have to involve a party. It is
already considered fun as long as you are wearing a costume. As I have told you, it
does not matter if your costume is as simple as a white blanket over you to resemble a
white ghost or as extravagant as a count Dracula or a vampire with that “thirsty for
blood” effect. Again, your costume does not have to be bought from somewhere because
the element of creativity is far more important in this case than your money.

My two cents worth

It does not matter how memorable your costume is or how bad your trick is. Just
like other days and celebrations, what matters is how we make the most of it. Probably
just like other celebrations, Halloween is only celebrated on one day of every year so we
must think of ways to make every year different from the previous one that passed by.
Think about this: if you happen to be with someone where Halloween is not that
observed in their culture, how would you make it special for him or her to make them want it again?

Every year, we celebrate a holiday which we can refer to as the “most terrifying” time in our lives. Next to Christmas, it is the next loved holiday (well for kids in this case) because we get to be whoever we want to be even for one day only. The reason why I said that the kids are the only ones jolly about this holiday is because they do not truly understand the meaning of it. Anyway, the holiday that I am talking about is Halloween.

Celebrated on the first day of November, it is a day to remember our deceased loved ones, and of course trick or treat-ing! Aside from the treats one could get, we are also excited whenever this day comes because of the different costumes we may see.

Dressing for your Halloween party need not to be difficult because just like what I have said, you can dress up like anyone (or even anything) that you want to be. You can dress up like your favorite superhero, or you could also dress up like a spooky-talking tree.

The choice is yours! The list goes on and on. But for those who are aiming to be popular, the first thing that comes to mind for boys is to be dressed up like count Dracula. What makes this character is the fact that he has fangs and because blood is flowing out
of his mouth.

Another popular figure when it comes to boys is dressing up like Frankenstein. He is the character who was created by a mad scientist who can think but only obeys his “master’s” orders. What makes him spooky is the fact that he has bolts on his head, as if his brain is going to fall off at times and making it look like it is even undone. There is also this blank stare of his, and this is freaky because you have no clue of what he is thinking. He might just start attacking you out of nowhere.

The girls will not miss out from all the fun of course. Aside from dressing up like your favorite cartoon character or even Barbie, still the number one pick of all is dressing up like a wicked witch. The costume involves wearing a long pointed nose, having some “warts” on your face, wearing a black dress with a long pointy hat, along with a broom. The broom is usually placed in between the legs, leaving us with the impression that she can fly. The fact that she could create magic spells with the use of her different potions makes her fearful because it simply means that she could control any person. But it does not stop there because she also has a voodoo doll which she can use to put misery on any person that she wishes to.

You see? Dressing up for Halloween should not be that hard. It can be from as simple as a white ghost to something as extravagant as the ones that were mentioned above. You don’t really have to buy from a costume shop for all of these because that is just not the point of it all. All you really need is your creativity, and you are all set to party.

Happy Halloween to everyone!
