I really like Halloween. It’s the funnest time of the year to be scared because of all of the superstitions that surround it. What really kind of irks me though, is how people complain and don’t like it. “It’s a waste of money” “there’s too much candy and junk” blah blah. Look, people, it’s not like there’s a law that requires you to celebrate the holiday. Some people may say, “but the kids like it blah blah all their friends do it blah blah”. If you don’t want your child participating in the commercial way of Halloween, then teach them about the more traditional way it was done and about what Halloween is originally about. Halloween, originally called All Hallows Eve, is about celebrating those who have died in the past year and paying respect to them.
Of course, as most things do, one event lead to another and BAM! Here we are with another commercial holiday. If you think about it, it is really the only day of the year in which teenage girls and now even younger girls can dress like sluts and get away with it. I didn’t realize that until recently haha.
Last Halloween my friend and I dressed up and Galinda and Elphaba. Galinda is Galinda the good from the Wizard of Oz and Wicked. Elphaba is the Wicked Witch of the West in Wicked. We got her green face paint and painted her face and hands and neck green. We also sprayed her hair black and her sister made her an awesome costume. I got a wand and a long blonde wig. Also her sister made me a nice pink dress to fit it all together. It was hilarious when we showed up at our friends Halloween party because we had told them that we were coming as lesbian lawyers.
This year was awesome too. We just dressed up as each other (which was funny, she looked way more pregnant that I do lol) then we went up to the Castle Theatre. The Castle Theatre is an amphitheatre up in Provo. There, we watched our stage crew/drama teacher and some old friends who had graduated last year, perform in the play Sweeney Todd. It was awesome cuz our teacher was playing the lead role as Sweeney. AAAh I love that play. Haha so does Russ.
