Similarities between Halloween and Thanksgiving

I know in my previous post I compared Halloween to Thanksgiving and decided for myself that Halloween dominated Thanksgiving. I felt I may have been a little harsh on Thanksgiving after I clicked post. Therefore I decided I would try and find similarities in Halloween and Thanksgiving therefore Halloween may still be better but Thanksgiving is not horrible.

Now let us discuss these similarities:
Eating-
Thanksgiving may be completely consumed with eating, but there are also many aspect of Halloween that involves eating. These include the fact that there are tons of candies, cookies, and fun Halloween cakes sold everywhere. Pumpkin pie is a big pie for both Holidays. Halloween is all about dessert, but that is also a very important part of Thanksgiving.

Spending time with friends and family-
Most people do not have family parties for Halloween. But it is still a time to spend time with friends, children spend more time with their parents, and loved ones tend to gather round. This is even more so for Thanksgiving because you are giving thanks for everything you have including friends and family. Many people I know have family parties, and whether they be big or little both holidays allow for spending time and having fun with people you truly care about.

Nice Weather-
Thanksgiving has been notorious for some snow. But on average both Thanksgiving and Halloween have the perfect wear a sweater and snuggle weather. It is not too cold where you are freezing, or warm to the point of sweating. I call this “hoodie weather” because it is perfect for just throwing a hoodie on.

While writing this blog I decided this would be better off elaborated and written as a pillar article on my website. Check out www.affordablehalloweenideas.com , and refer to the pillar articles section for the full article.

Have a great break from work/school!!!
