About Halloween

Halloween is by far one of the most fun holidays there is. I'm not quite sure it's a holiday though. Ok I know it is the eve of the day of all saints, but you don't get the day off from work or class and no one is really sure about what is being celebrated. On the other hand people dress up and go out. Kids get candy, grown-ups get wasted, sounds like a pretty good holiday to me.
Disregarding its designation, Halloween is the day when you get to dress up and be someone or something else. Who wouldn't want to take advantage of that? I know I do. In the past I've gotten to be an 80's cartoon character who I loved as a kid, Strawberry Shortcake (aka Fresita o Frutillita). I was Eve, 'cause who wouldn't want to be the first woman alive? (FIGURATIVELY SPEAKING, please do not mistake me with Sarah Palin!). I was a Playboy bunny too, this was a result of watching way too many episodes of Girls Next Door. This year I'm sticking to the decade when I was born and dressing up as a girl that lived in a material world, got it? (I know, I'm sorry, I can't help being cheesy).
One of the things that I love about Halloween is that in the end is all about the candy. Kids go door to door asking trick-or-treat. Thinking about it grown men do the same thing. It is a known fact that, at least in the US, Halloween is an excuse for girls to wear as little clothing as possible without feeling that they will be criticized by other girls. It is the holiday that gets girls to release their alter-ego's, or in this case, their alter-ho's. This combined with drinking works out beautifully for guys who not only get eye candy, but actually get to take home some.
So dress up, have fun and get your candy 'cause this year Halloween is on a Friday!!
