It's my favorite of holidays after only Thanksgiving and Christmas (in that order) and here are a few reasons why:

- People dress up in amazingly awesome costumes, which I thoroughly enjoy.
- People dress up in amazingly awful costumes, which I also thoroughly enjoy, though for entirely different reasons.
- My niece (and my nephew this year!!) dress up in costumes such as these:
- There is candy EVERYWHERE and it is suddenly socially acceptable to both hoard and binge said sweet confections.
- There is an abundance of pumpkin flavored beers.
- Halloween parties are some of the best parties you can attend all year long.
- My somewhat private (though not anymore...now) obsession with zombies, vampires, witches, werewolves, and other legendary creatures can be unabashedly displayed with no concern for public mockery.
- You get to take big orange pumpkins and turn them into wonderful jack-o-lanterns, such as these:
