I love Halloween

Never mind a letter to Father Christmas, Manda Jane writes a little love letter to Halloween. Because it's nice to get a love letter, isn't it? Normally, Halloween just gets eyeballs.

Dear Halloween, I love you. Please don't ever change.

In my opinion, Halloween beats Christmas. We don't have to pretend to love Jesus, suffer family feuds or spend hours trying to find the perfect gift. Yet it is still a valid excuse to eat sweets, decorate your house and consume copious amounts of vodka.

1. Halloween is basically a free ticket to tooth decay. Dentists really owe whoever invented trick or treating a lot. What a genius idea to be able to knock on someone's door and be a bag of sweets for nothing. Wish you could do that everyday.

2. You can be whoever you want to be. The most boring of people can suddenly become Madonna. The shyest of people are suddenly superman. The hottest of girls are suddenly zombies. Although shy zombies might have a terrible problem with securing their food supply.

3. I love seeing Batman whitey his load outside of the pub. I really, really do.

4. The decorations are so much better than Christmas ones! Bleeding skulls and floating eyeballs are the way forward!

5. When else would Wonder Woman get to get frisky with Darth Vader?

6. Who needs hallucinogens when you are surrounded by zombies and pumpkins with faces? And you're not just on a bad trip - it's really happening.

7. I am going to quote Mean Girls here; "Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it." Brilliant.

8. Themed parties are much better than normal parties. Fact.

Halloween is bitchin'. I wish we didn't need an excuse to dress like a hoo-er and get free sweets but society says we need one. And here it is! I love you Halloween!
