Halloween is my favorite holiday because I get candy and the decorations. Most common decorations are black cats, orange lights, decorated statues. Common candies are Kit Cats, Hershey’s chocolate, Snickers, 3 Muskateers, candy mints, Laffy Taffy, candy corn, jelly beans, bandoso jelly beans, Milky Ways, Nerds, and Nerd Gummy clusters. Costumes are often seen. Some people give out hot dogs - up the street. Sometimes I will see dogs in costumes. Last year I was a zombie soccer player. This year I want to be a skatergirl. Items I need: sister’s skateboard, roller skate shirt, ripped jeans, jean jacket, and pink and black shoes. The reason why my favorite fall holiday is Halloween is because I like carving pumpkins, candy and costumes.

Every year in fall is Halloween. For Halloween my brother’s soccer team comes with their costumes and play Halloween activities. I get invited to a Halloween party with my whole family members. I go trick or treating at this place for a little far away from my house. I try getting more candy then my brother but at the end of trick or treating we put all out candy together. Halloween is a great holiday and I hope other people like it too.
