Halloween is a time to celebrate the dead and appreciate all things spooky. It’s a day (and night) of fun, food and, dressing up. It gives you a chance to be someone, or something, else.
Sadly in Australia, Halloween isn’t that big of a deal. I wish we celebrated it more but, aside from the few children trick-or-treating and the Halloween themed parties that’s about as “Halloweenish” as it gets. I personally love Halloween because it’s one time of the year where you can be anything you want. You can take on a new persona and nobody will care. It’s like a masquerade ball where you can be anyone behind your new identity, your mask, except you can quite literally transform yourself. Halloween is a time where if you are quiet and shy you can become confident and bold, you can stay the same or become someone new; it’s entirely up to you. Halloween makes me feel powerful. It gives me a boost of confidence and a feeling of invincibility; I can do anything, be bold and take risks. Australia, why can’t you love Halloween as much as I do?
In appreciation for this wonderful day: here are my tips, tricks, and ideas for having a spooktacular Halloween.
