Halloween is less than a week away, which means there’s no better time than a special themed edition of Facebook Theater because, as we all know, the costume dilemma is real. .
If you’re that parent slaving over the sewing machine for your kid’s costume, or you’re going to be the one roaming up and down the aisles of that Halloween costume store on Monday, just know that we feel your pain.
Halloween is one of the all-time GREAT holidays for kids. Think about it – for 364 days of the year, kids are told by their parents not to accept candy from strangers.
And then, on that one magical day at the end of October, we send our kids out to homes of people we probably barely know to get candy.
We are expecting to see a lot of costumes related to Taylor Swift and Barbie.
And that’s just the adults that we’re talking about there.
Some kids spend weeks planning their costume. Which means the parents better have the debit card ready.
Some kids change their minds about their costume repeatedly – right up until THE. VERY. LAST. MINUTE.
My 5-year old is going to be a witch for Halloween. But she doesn’t want to wear a hat. No wig, either. The black dress? Too itchy. Oh, and she’s not down with green makeup. The only part of the costume she actually likes is the broom. Thus, my 5-year-old is going to be a janitor for Halloween.
Thoughts and prayers, please, for my son who just told me the star was “a little off” on the cape I’m sewing for his f’ing halloween costume.
Ah yes…Halloween. Last week, my kid wanted to be a princess. Yesterday, she said she wants to be a witch. By the time next Monday rolls around, I am sure she will come up with an idea for a costume so niche there is no way the Spirit Halloween store can provide it.
Six Exciting and Fun Ideas For Family Costumes This Halloween
Halloween is coming up and it’s always fun to think about what you want to dress up as! What’s fun is putting a cool family costume together. It’s always neat to have you, your spouse and your kids all dressed up together as a team. We’re going to take a look at six exciting and fun ideas for family costumes for this Halloween.
Dressing up for Halloween is a beloved tradition that captivates people for a multitude of reasons. Firstly, it provides an opportunity to escape from the monotony of everyday life and step into a world of creativity and fantasy. For a brief moment, individuals can transform into characters they admire, embrace alter egos, or simply let their imaginations run wild.
Furthermore, Halloween costumes serve as a form of self-expression. People can reveal hidden facets of their personalities or explore facets of their identity they don’t often get to express. It’s a chance to be someone else, if only for a night, and indulge in the thrill of embodying a different persona.
Social interactions also play a significant role in the appeal of dressing up. Halloween parties and trick-or-treating provide opportunities to connect with friends, family, and even strangers. The shared experience of admiring each other’s costumes, the excitement of guessing who’s behind the mask, and the mutual admiration of creativity create a sense of togetherness.
In conclusion, dressing up for Halloween is a cherished tradition because it offers an escape from the ordinary, a canvas for self-expression, a means of social connection, and a rich tapestry of memories that tie individuals together in a celebration of creativity and imagination. It’s a time when people of all ages can embrace their playful, imaginative sides and revel in the magic of the holiday.
