Brissa Molina<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was born in Mexico, so for the longest time, Halloween was just a thing I knew about because I saw it on TV. My family is very Catholic and they think you\u2019re giving your soul to Satan when you dress up and ask for candy.<\/p>\n

My first real Halloween was in 2014, after moving to California. I still don\u2019t fully understand what Halloween is about; and I\u2019m sure most of the kids who dress up don\u2019t either.<\/p>\n

Every year since my first Halloween, I like to dress up and give out candy. I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ll be dressing up this year, but if I do, I probably won\u2019t put much effort into it.<\/p>\n

I fear for my house, though; it might get egged this year because we are giving out books and a lot of kids won\u2019t be very happy.<\/p>\n

Halloween is as about as good as a holiday can get. When it comes to Halloween, there is something for everyone.<\/p>\n

The traditions and spirit start when we are young with the haunted houses, jack-o-lanterns and trick or treating.<\/p>\n

Even through my teenage years and as an adult, I still thoroughly enjoy Halloween. The costumes, the vibe, even the parties!<\/p>\n

Halloween is the one day of the year where everyone has free reign to at least look like they are whatever they have ever wanted to be. Whether it be a giant rat, a space cadet or even the opposite gender, Halloween allows the imagination to stretch its legs.<\/p>\n

I look forward to seeing everyone costumed up every year because it\u2019s a welcome break from the status quo.\u00a0 I am not particularly fond of holidays. Halloween is the one I legitimately enjoy.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
