Halloween has been on the ascent the last 10 years or so, and I just don’t understand why.
Let’s think about it. Halloween: You have to dress up or dress up your children, you have to go walk around the neighborhood for candy. Or you have to sit around the house waiting for your doorbell to ring, feign horror, and then pass out candy. You’re dealing with strangers the entire time. The kids get wired on sugar then tired and cranky. And of course there’s the annual x-ray-the-candy-because-people-are-evil scare, the tp-ing, the whole “trick” part.
Now, Thanksgiving, the bestest of holidays, you are with friends and/or family, you eat, you sit around watching, or if you are ambitious, playing, football. Granted someone has to cook the turkey, but that’s it. That’s the entire burden of the holiday.
I ask you, which is better?
