Wgbw, just a brief intermission from the Friends countdown. Sorry for the delays too but just a wreck of jitsu lately (besides when I've been watching all these movies LOL.) Anywho, here are the top 10 reasons that Halloween is better than Xmas.
10) Stores aren't closed on Halloween. Ever tried to go do something on Christmas just to get out of the house? You can't because most stuff is closed. This is a double whammy because usually the night before shit is closed too.
9) Nobody reminds you it's halloween the whole week of halloween. I've heard people wishing merry christmas for like 3 weeks now.
8) Why do you have to go home? I love my family more than anything, but these times where it feels like its mandatory hangout time are weird to me. Why don't we at least celebrate Christmas in July so nobody's car gets stuck on the road.
7) The commercials on TV blow. Why are there no halloween commercials during halloween? If I see one more jewelry commercial during the next few days I'm going to go crazy.
6) The bars are packed on Halloween. The bars are not packed on Christmas.
5) The whole Christmas dinner/lunch thing is just like a junior varsity version of Thanksgiving. It's mediocre food that's not near as good as just eating halloween candy the whole day.
4) Maybe it's my general indifference to feel good movies but Halloween movies just run laps around Christmas movies.
3) It's too cold outside on Christmas. At least on Halloween its fall weather that's really tight. Everyone actually gets excited about it snowing on Christmas, but it never does.
2) Environmental reasons. Everyone has to drive/fly home on Christmas, that must emit just a wreck of GHGs into the atmosphere. At least on Halloween kids get exercise and walk everywhere.
1) The Christmas hangover is bad too. Just when you get so excited Christmas is over, then everyone is packing into stores trying to return stuff and traffic gets crazy. It's like the holiday that keeps on giving
Bah humbug
