>>> HALLOWEEN IS UPON US, WHICH MEANS IF YOU ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP, YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE IN A COUPLE'S COSTUME.

THERE ARE A FEW RULES, THINGS LIKE DON'T DRESS UP AS SIBLINGS OR OTHER RACES AND FOR THE MOST PART, I THINK THAT'S EASY TO UNDERSTAND.

BUT THE BIG RULE FOR A COUPLES' COSTUME IS, GO ALL IN.

COMMIT COMPLETELY.

DO THE THING, EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT REALLY ABOUT IT.

LISTEN, I GET THAT HALLOWEEN ISN'T SOMETHING ADULTS SHOULD TAKE SERIOUSLY.

IT'S ANNOYING TO GET A DOZEN TEXTS ABOUT PRETENDING TO BE RAGGED IAN DESO YOUR PARENT CAN BE RAGGEDY ANN.

BUT B WE KNOW THAT HISTORY IS FULL OF MOMENTS WHERE THE UNENTHUSED WERE AT THE MERCY OF THE EXCITED.

BIRTHDAYS, WEDDINGS, D-DAY OR WHEN THE TRULY DELIGHTED OVERPOWERED EVERYONE ELSE.

AND BELIEVE ME, IT IS.

BUYING AN OUTFIT YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO WEAR ONCE IS HISSING YOUR MORTICIAN DECIDES, NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND.

BUT WHAT'S THE ALTERNATIVE?

REFUSING FUN, ROLLING YOUR EYES?

TURNING YOUR NOSE UP TO THE IDEA OF PLAY?

WHY DO THAT TO THE PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT?

IT YOU CAN'T COMMIT TO HAVING FUN ITH SOMEONE, WHY HAVE THEM IN YOUR LIFE AT ALL.

SO THIS HALLOWEEN, GO ALL-OUT.

AT FIRST, YOU'RE GOING TO FEEL STUPID AND ANNOYED.

BUT I PROMISE, THE MINUTE YOU PUT ON THOSE COWBOY BOOTS OR TENTACLES OR HOOKS, YOU WILL FIND THE JOY, THE WHIMSY AND THE DELIGHT OF HALLOWEEN.

AND YOU DON'T, WELL, THEN YOU SHOULD PROBABLY FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO FOR THANKSGIVING, BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T IKE DRESSING UP YOUR
