Halloween

Elfilis

Ok so I have decided I’ll stick around a little longer but will probably take a break from here soon. For now though I’ll post about Halloween! Jack o lantern  

Ok so I’m not a lover of the event if I’m honest but as I’ve got older I have somewhat got into it a little bit more. Now I’m in my flat I don’t have to worry about the trick or treaters lol! Think my mum is going to come around to mine as well to avoid them lol! 

How am I going to celebrate it? I will no doubt be playing Luigi’s mansion 3, hopefully the last level on Simpsons hit and run and of course play ACNH Halloween event despite the fact I only have five villagers on my island right now and like one pumpkin decoration on the island (I only started the island on the 10th lol). Might also watch some SpongeBob episodes which are Halloween themed too. The only decorations in my flat are two little light up metal pumpkins which once had Halloween shortbreads in. But I ate them! I can’t get over how much effort people have actually gone into decorating their houses and front yards though. Do hope this doesn’t take over Christmas ha!

So what you do plan for Halloween? Do you like it? Do you not care for it? Feel free to let me know!

  • I feel like it was more of a big deal for me when my brother and I were little as I do think it's more exciting for kids (and maybe 50% adults) in the UK. Don’t get me wrong, I do still like it to a certain degree, it's just what I hate now is the idea of me being potentially invited to a party meaning everybody will go to full length to make a proper effort with costumes. But the thing is, I hate the idea of having to spend god knows how much amount money on a costume which does look amazing but then you'd just put in your wardrobe and potentially never wear again. 

    I guess that's where it comes to my social anxiety aspect as I always feel nervous about getting invited to an actual party where I'm expected to make the full effort in dressing up, where is in past years I've been happy with just improvising with stuff already in my wardrobe and added a few halloween accessories that way I've made a bit of effort without having to spend a ridiculous amount of cash.

    Anyways that's just my opinion on Halloween... I do still like it but it's not the same as it was when I was a child
