It's no secret that Halloween is my favorite holiday. I pretty much tell it to everyone who will listen. However, today when I told a random lady at Walgreen's this fact, she responded by saying, "Well actually, Christmas is a little bit better of a holiday." Oh...No...She didn't! You can say a lot of things to me. You can tell me the government is going to steal all my money. You can tell me my bologna has first name and that it's O-S-C-A-R. Heck, you can even tell me you wish I would jump off a cliff. Perfectly fine. You tell me Christmas is better than Halloween. That is just not something I can let go. So for the next hour I held up that line and compared Christmas to Halloween to show her how wrong she truly was.Christmas: If you are good all year, you get a present. If you are bad, you get coal. Pretty black and white.
Halloween: It doesn't matter if you are good, bad or fall somewhere in the middle, there's a 50% chance you will get a trick. And there's a 50% chance you'll get a treat.
Christmas: You have to get up early. Like at 5 a.m.
Halloween: Everything takes place in the afternoon or night. So, you get to sleep in.
Christmas: Santa is always watching you. Kind of Creeper like.
Halloween: No holiday overload is watching or judging you.
Christmas: You only get to give a few people presents.
Halloween: You get to give lots of people lots of little presents.
Christmas: You have to walk through freezing deep snow drifts.
Halloween: You get to walk through corn mazes and haunted houses.
Christmas: You wait for an hour in line with a 100 other people just to tell some fake possibly pervy drunk Santa impersonator what you want.
Halloween: You walk up to someones door, say Trick or Treat, and get your treat immediately.
Christmas: An overweight guy who smells of whiskey dresses up in a red Santa suit.
Halloween: Every pretty girl in the nation dresses up in a costume that has the word 'sexy' or 'naughty' in the title. (i.e. Sexy Witch. Sexy Nurse. Sexy Teacher.)
Christmas: You have to go spend $40 on a Christmas Tree, spend lots of money decorating it and then you keep it in your house so no one else gets to see it.
Halloween: You buy a ginormous pumpkin for like $8, cut a bunch of holes in it and then put it outside with a candle in it so everyone can see.
Christmas: The decorations are kind of boring.
Halloween: Let's face it, the decorations are totally cool.
Christmas: We get one week of holiday specials that include "It's A Wonderful Life" and claymation specials.
Halloween: We get 31 days of scary movies that include "Friday the 13th", "Halloween" and "Nightmare on Elm Street".
