I have to say, this prompt is a little creepy. I suppose it's only appropriate since my favorite holiday is Halloween and it's a few days away. This prompt says to make a collage, but I'm just going to interpret it as a written collage rather than visual.
Why do I love Halloween of all the holidays? Why not Christmas or Thanksgiving? The answer is simple--because it's fun. There's no point to it. It's a time when everyone can just be kid--eat candy, dress up in funny costumes, play practical jokes and watch scary movies. I like that's not tied to emotions and moments that make you choke up and cry. It's a time to let loose and be anyone you want to be or do anything you want without feeling childish. Now, I'm not one to go all out and hit the party scene on Halloween. I mean, I would if I had people around who enjoyed it as much as me. Since I don't, I prefer to carry out my own fun little traditions. I enjoy decorating my home with pumpkins and ghosts. I buy bags of candy even though I'll only get one knock at the door. I rent scary movies and watch them in my Halloween PJs. I do look forward to one day living in an area where I can enjoy this holiday a little more. I look forward to taking my friends' kids out and watching them go door to door. As a kid I had the most fun on this one night, and I hope that one day I can pass that feeling on to someone else.
