Halloween Humor and Celebrations

Posted byVanya Wryter ConsultingPosted inLifestyleTags:, , ,

All aboard! To go where? It depends. So many people think of Halloween as the perfect time of year to scare others and to be scared. However, Halloween is more than that. It is a time for everyone. Here’s why.

You can visit so many Halloween-themed displays, such as the train above which has temporarily been commandeered by skeletal pirates. Or check out how well people have decorated their houses.

If the freaky and spooky aren’t for you, and you’re the cheerful type, you can enjoy  some Halloween workplace humor:

How do ghosts send letters? Through the ghost office.

Why don’t mummies take time off? They’re afraid to unwind.

Why do vampires not want to become investment bankers? They hate stakeholders.

What is the mummy’s holiday job? Gift wrapper.

Why did the ghost leave his job? He hated the graveyard shift.

What did the mummy film director say? That’s a wrap.

What do skeletons order at a restaurant? Spare ribs.

Children and adults can dress up in costumes and have a little fun trick-or-treating or going to a Halloween party. You can enter a pumpkin in a pumpkin carving contest.

And for those who like history and aren’t into all the costumes and dress up, the origins of Halloween may have more appeal. It is a night when the veil between the living and the dead is thinnest. For those who have lost friends or family members, Halloween is a time to reflect and reconnect with loved ones from our past.

  9. Love the Halloween jokes! Just listened to a podcast on the history of Halloween and found it veery interesting. It was not traditionally a scary holiday. According to the podcast things changed when the movie “Halloween” came out in the 70s. Then people began to focus on the scary parts. As a side note, I noticed you refer to a train photo but saw no alt text. I am blind and use alt text for images and graphics. Please add with your future post. Cheers!

    1. Glad you liked the jokes! Yes, the original meaning and purpose of Halloween has changed a lot over the years. I rarely include photos in my posts – maybe three times a year I have photos in a blog. I will remember to add alt text with future posts. Thanks for the pointer!
