Fabulous’ editor-in-chief Martha Cliff reflects on a spooky season

While some may be waiting for Mariah Carey to slowly thaw, I couldn’t care less that Christmas is less than 100 days away.

Has everyone forgotten that there are less than 50 sleeps until the best holiday of the year?

I have long preferred Halloween to Christmas and spend most of the year mourning the loss of the spooky season.

Not that I don’t find ways to incorporate it into my year.

In April, I marked the halfway point of the most beautiful day of the year with a half-o-ween picnic at a cemetery (where else?). In July I had to get back to work and organized a ‘Summerween’ barbecue, complete with watermelon carvings and Piña Ghoul-adas.

Christmas fanatics are often shocked by my snow season snubs, but for me, December is just a lot of stress and overspending.

I don’t know about you, but racking my brain for bigger and better current ideas and spending four times as much time and money at the grocery store is not my idea of ​​a good time.

On Halloween, there is no expectation to spend money. Homemade costumes are often heads and tails above those sold in stores, and when it comes to decorations, what’s better than a carved pumpkin that costs just pennies to make?

In January, children return to school and brag about what Santa brought them this year, all hoping to outdo each other, but November 1 is a different story.

Trick or treating is fair through and through. Unless you bribe the neighbors, kids all get the same thing, and for free, eliminating bragging rights on playgrounds.

Most of all, I love chaos over curation when it comes to Halloween. There is no obligation to strive for perfection, in fact, the crazier the better. It’s all the childhood nostalgia of Christmas, but without the pressure.

So spare me the Christmas spirit, I’ll choose a full-fledged ghost any day.
