Sacred Holiday

A sacred holiday for me is Halloween. Every year my husband and I have a huge Hallowen party with lots of scary decorations, crazy costumes, and great food and drinks. I start prepping for it at the end of August,and each year we try to out do the previous year. I identify with Eliade's abolition of norms because on that day, I am no longer a wife, student, or preschool teacher, I am Snow White and must dress and act the part. My friends and family turn into different people and their bizarre behavior is not accepted, but  it is condoned and expected. This is my favorite night of the year when everyone's inner crazy comes out for a little fun.
