The Most Wonderful Weekend of the Year

Halloween is quite possibly my second-favorite holiday all year. You can gorge yourself (relatively) guilt free into a diabetic coma, girls dress in provocative (read - slutty) costumes because it is socially acceptable, and it's just all around a good time. This year Halloween is on the weekend, which makes it even better. But for some of us, it's an even sweeter holiday weekend this season.
