Why Halloween Is Better Than Christmas (Hear Me Out...)

VFJ Pilates | Musings

Look, Christmas is great, but Halloween doesn’t ask you to cook for 12 people, wrap 37 things, or smile politely through board games. Let’s be honest... it wins.

There comes a point each year, usually around mid-November, when the Christmas songs creep in and the decorations start to twinkle... and I want to hide behind a pumpkin. Because while everyone else is diving into mince pies, I am still mourning Halloween.

Christmas is lovely, sure. But it is a lot. A lot of pressure, a lot of planning, a lot of sparkle whether you are in the mood or not. Halloween? Halloween asks very little of you. Put on a cape. Carve something lumpy. Eat chocolate shaped like eyeballs. Done.

Halloween is weird and wonderful. It makes space for misfits. You can be loud, spooky, silly, or quietly witchy in the background. No one expects matching pyjamas or perfect family photos. Just turn up, weird and welcome.

And the food? No comparison. Halloween is snacks and sweets and chaos. Christmas is rules. Starters and mains and no pudding until the King has spoken. At Halloween, you can eat cake for breakfast and no one bats an eye.

Even the weather suits it. Halloween expects drizzle and darkness. Christmas wants snow and gets mud. And no one has to travel hundreds of miles to eat dry turkey at Halloween. You just stay home, light a candle, and embrace the cosy chaos.

So yes, Christmas has heart. But Halloween has freedom. And honestly, sometimes that feels like the better gift.
