Blog Entry 8: The Fun of Halloween Decorations

Once again, I say welcome to fellow bloggers and hope everyone is doing as well as I am. For this entry, I'd like to focus on the levity of Halloween. Halloween in the United States is an experience. The costumes, the candy, the comics, and the decorations all bring with them a breath of humor into the year as the year approaches its close.

 I am most likely in the minority group, but I hate going to spooky houses. Getting scared by strangers in an unfamiliar setting just doesn't sound fun to me. Although, driving down the street and seeing all the creative ideas seeing light and creating an atmosphere around a home is awe inspiring. Besides the corny blow-up pumpkins and skeletons, Halloween decorations are awesome. They vary so much from people dressing up and waiting to grab you as you
reach for candy into hand-carved vegetables that decorate almost every porch in a form of suburb solidarity.
The costumes this year, like every year, were both corny and pretty sweet. Whether you were a presidential candidate or an undecided voter all the costumes were able to draw some reaction, more often than not good. The reactions, of course, vary with the costume. A gorilla carrying around a child in a cage may not receive as many laughs or nods of a job well done as say a toddler dressed as an Oompa Loompa (Doopety doo). I still enjoyed seeing all the costumes that were worthwhile on social media and seeing what my neighborhood was able to throw together as well.

With all the goods offered around Halloween, by far, my favorite part is the witty comic that catches my laugh, which I think speak for themselves, as does the candy. If you don't know, the candy it tastes good.

I hope everyone enjoyed Halloween to some degree, and I hope you enjoyed this blog entry. Thanks for reading, and maybe tell me about your favorite part of Halloween.
