What Makes Halloween a Special Holiday?

Siobhan's First Halloween

Halloween is one of my favourite holidays of the year. Of course, I love all the holidays, but do you know what makes Halloween special? I didn’t have to cook; I ordered pizza, and instead of having all my family over, we went and visited them (very briefly). No mess, no cooking, no cleaning.
