Happy (early) Halloween, ghouls and boils! I can give you a thousand reasons why Halloween is the best day of the year, but I need time to finish my costume (me + my dog Henry= Amish couple), so I've slashed the list down to just five:

  1. It's the only holiday when dressing up like a really scary monster and scaring the hell out of people is both appropriate and encouraged. Take that, Christmas!
  2. Power pumpkins.
  3. Two words: baked pugtatoes.
  4. One word: candy.

And the number one reason why Halloween is a scream …

  1. Zombies!

St. Patrick’s Day

I love Halloween and not just because it's my bday :)

Halloween is my favorite holiday for an entirely different reason: it is the only holiday you are not forced to take part in if you don't want to. Some years I dive in right up to my eyebrows and decorate everything with cobwebs and skeletons and throw a big party, other years I just give out Halloween candy. This year I seem to be in the middle. I may go to a party tomorrow night, or I may not, depending on my mood. If I don't go to the party, I will do facial surgery on a pumpkin and hand out candy.

My point is, it is the only holiday where no one tells me I have to be thankful, or calls me a Scrooge, or asks me where my patriotism went. I don't get depressed over a heart shaped box of candy or the fact I have to buy gifts I can't afford for people I see once a year. It is what all holidays should be: fun and stress free.

If I were a dog, I would prefer not to wear a Halloween costume.
If I were a zombie, I would stay vegan and educate others on the importance of making a mock-brain product available to curb homocide.

Yeah! Candy candy candy and more candy.
That's a good point you bought up, Rev. Meg. I had never really thought about it that way before.

There are still moral morons who torture and kill black cats on Halloween.

I totally love the "Flesh is for zombies" thing. Right now, since I'm still living at home I'm trying to convince my family to go veg!
