Halloween has become a day for the living to dress up, wear masks, and pretend to be dead. The irony is that most people spend the rest of the year dressing up, wearing masks, and pretending to live.

There is great irony in our celebration of Halloween.

Halloween is a day when many people enjoy dressing up, wearing masks, and pretending to be dead. Ironically, most people spend the other 364 days of the year dressing up, wearing masks, and pretending to live.

Halloween has become a day where it’s acceptable to pretend to be something you’re not. But what about the other 364 days of the year?
