Why Halloween is an average holiday

Halloween is a mediocre holiday. It’s not only vastly overrated, but also less enjoyable than other holidays (like Christmas). Because the festival is primarily aimed at children, it does not age well for older individuals. Trick or treating, for example, is primarily enjoyable for children under the age of 14. Not only that, but it is also based on frequent themes such as ghosts, witches, and pumpkins. 

Halloween can be average for a few reasons. Some folks might not be into the whole costume thing or find the spooky atmosphere a bit overwhelming. Plus, not everyone enjoys the scares and frights that come with the holiday.
