Halloween or just another boozy excuse?

Okay look I’m not anti-Halloween. Costumes, candy, Trick or Treating? Love all that. But the whole horror-core aesthetic that takes over every front yard in October? No thanks. I walked past a house last night with fake blood splattered across the windows and a half body mannequin hanging from the tree. Like… WHY? Since when did “family fun” mean traumatizing toddlers on their way to school?

And don’t even get me started on how it’s turned into yet another excuse for adults to drink in costume. Halloween used to be for kids now it’s just St. Patrick’s Day with fake fangs. Can we chill for one night and just enjoy candy without pretending to be serial killers?

What do you think has Halloween gone too far or am I just being a grump?

oh wow it’s almost like adults want to participate in a holiday in an age appropriate way… i’ve said it once on the internet and i’ll say it again - nobody is required to cater to other people’s kids.

Traditionally speaking, Halloween was never about kids in the first place… it’s a pegan holiday celebrating the end of the harvest seasons. Where it was believed that the boundaries between the living and dead were thinnest so you’d dress in costume to fool the ghosts roaming the earth. If you go all the way back to Samhain that is. And it was mostly an adult celebration 👀

Favorite boozy fragrances!

All of these are essentially the same. If you have one, you do not necessarily need the other. They are absolutely perfect for cooler weather. It's like wearing a hug🥰. They are all comparable to Killian Angel Share with similarities and differences, of course, but the DNAs are very close.
