>Halloween is, after all, the best holiday, amirite?

Whole hearted YES to that.

Tldr; Halloween is great

If you're a kid, you get to wear costumes and get candy and run around your neighborhood. If you're a teenager, you get to run around in dark clothes and generally raise hell on mischief night. If you're in your 20s, you're in a costume getting hammered with everyone else. If you're a parent, you're taking your kids trick or treating or letting them run around the neighborhood like you once did, or you're giving out candy, or both. If you're not a parent, you're going all out with your free time and making a dopeass Halloween house. If you're old, you get to give out candy and be spooky as hell, and reminisce about your glory days going around in costumes, getting candy, raising hell, getting hammered, growing up, and becoming old, and continuing the cycle. It revels in Death, but also revels in life and all its possibilities. It's the best holiday no matter how old you are. It's where all ages meet and the years are condensed, even more so than any other holiday.
