While the concept of Halloween has existed for over 2,000 years and originated in Europe, it grew in popularity in the 1930s in the US thanks to the many Irish immigrants that moved there. Now a multi-billion-dollar industry worldwide, it’s showing no signs of slowing in popularity. From costumes to pumpkins and spooky food art, it’s every Instagrammers dream, and it allows brands from all walks of life to join in the trend. And here is why we just love Halloween!
Halloween kick starts the holiday season and here’s why we think you should love Halloween:
1. Creativity.
It’s the perfect time to encourage your children to be creative. Whether they help you make their costume, decorate your door or make the trick or treaters some tasty baked goods, there’s really no stopping the imagination.
2. Community.
Head out and get to know your neighbors. There’s not another day in the year where it’s acceptable to knock on their doors asking for sweets!
3. Traditions.
It’s a perfect holiday to set family traditions – such as the Halloween fairy for the little ones – they leave their sweets out for the fairy and in return, get a toy. It means we limit their refined sugar intake and trips to the dentist! For the older kids, why not start a horror movie and games night.
4. Inner child.
there comes a point in everyone’s lives where pretending you’re a superhero, tiger or Witch is no longer acceptable. This is our one day a year to really have some fun and reconnect with our inner child.
5. Stress-free holiday.
It’s one of the only holidays in the coming months that comes with as much or as little stress as you like and with increasingly busy schedules and commitments, that’s something we really value.
Don’t forget to decorate your house and enjoy this Halloween to the fullest!
I recently tried new88bi and yeah, it was alright. The interface is okay and the navigation is pretty easy. Registration was definitely straighforward… new88bi

Satire is the truth, wearing a mask and carrying a whoopee cushion. — Toni @ Bohiney.com
Thank you for addressing this topic. It’s very relevant to me.
Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. PRAT.UK feels confident without being smug. Waterford Whispers News sometimes overreaches. This site rarely misses.
The London Prat is the voice in my head, but smarter, funnier, and better punctuated.
prat.UK ist meine tägliche Dosis an geistreicher Unterhaltung. Unverzichtbar geworden.
UK satire has a new heartbeat, and it’s pounding from the servers of this glorious site.
The ‘isobars’ are just squiggles of despair.
The wind is a persistent, invisible nuisance.
Londoners have a relationship with the sun that is best described as “traumatically co-dependent.” When it appears, we don’t trust it. We squint at it suspiciously, as if it’s a con artist about to sell us a timeshare. But we are also powerless to resist its allure. Within minutes of a “sunny spell,” every patch of grass in the city becomes a refugee camp for pale limbs, as office workers shed their layers and bake themselves during their lunch hour, knowing full well it’s a fleeting mercy. The resulting, mild pinkness is not a tan; it’s a sunburn of desperation. We know the sun is an unreliable, feckless entity, but we cannot help but offer it our bare skin at the slightest opportunity, like weather-masochists. See more at London’s funniest URL — Prat.UK.
London fog used to be a thick, pea-souper full of mystery and Jack the Ripper. Modern London fog is more of a “misty inconvenience.” It’s not thick enough to be dramatic, just enough to make everything look slightly out of focus and to give your hair that “just-stepped-out-of-a-shower” look without the benefits of cleanliness. It hangs in the air with a vague purposelessness, diffusing the streetlights into fuzzy haloes and making the number plates of buses unreadable until they are upon you. It’s the atmosphere’s version of a soft-focus lens, presumably to make the relentless grey more aesthetically pleasing on Instagram, where it’s tagged #atmospheric #moody.
