My genius costume.

I once went trick-or-treating as Santa. When I came up with that idea I was convinced I was the single most brilliant human being that has ever gone trick-or-treating or participated in Halloween through some sort of ritual that has or ever will live on this earth.

But you can't blame me.

Pros of celebrating Halloween in a Santa Clause costume:

- The guarantee of being nice and toasty running around the streets of Plymouth. Oh my, you're a cat? Oh, you're going home early because your little toesies are being bitten by the supernatural chill of Halloween? Yeah? Well I'm SANTA and SANTA has a large belly and a magical beard for warmth. Oh, you wish YOU had thought of Santa Clause? That's what I thought.


- Dressing up as a man has a comedic appeal nobody can deny. Imagine right now a ten year old girl wearing a beard. You just giggled.

- Why would a witch be carrying around a bag of goodies? Good question. Why would a Power Ranger be lugging around a pillowcase of candy? Yeah, that's dumb. Why would Santa be holding a sack of treats over his shoulder? Because that's Santa's JOB.

- Santa is indeed part of Christmas and not Halloween. That's irony right there! It's like "The Nightmare Before Christmas" but better.

- IT'S HILARIOUS AND CREATIVE.

Cons of celebrating Halloween in a Santa Clause costume:


- The other children will get jealous and may try to rip off your beard.


So basically it's genius. I Googled until the tips of my fingers were calloused before I found the perfect Santa, hat and all.
Best costume ever.
