I like to go with my friend and cousins. I like to see the decorations. I also like to walk on the sidewalk. I also like the candy that they give me. I also like going treat or treat. I like to hang out with my family and friends. I like walking down the sidewalk but sometimes my legs might get tired. I see a lot of punkins when I walk down the sidewalk too. This is why I like Halloween.

My favorite fall holiday is Halloween. I like Halloween because once your done trick or treating you get so much candy. I also like Halloween because you get to wear costumes and that’s super fun. Halloween is also fun because you can get your friends and trick or treat with them. On Halloween it’s super fun to carve a pumpkin and also to vote which pumpkin is your favorite. My mom’s birthday is on Halloween so sometimes we can go to our grandparents house and eat pound cake. It’s also fun because some people give out fidgets and those are super fun. That’s why I like Halloween.

My favorite holiday in the fall is Halloween. It is my favorite holiday because you get to spend time with your family. You get to dress up and you can get candy too and that is why I choose Halloween and have a lot of fun too. My sister has her birthday in October and she is turning 6 years old.
