You’re not alone if Halloween is your favorite day of the year. Not only do you get to eat all the candy with #noguilt, but you also get to watch your favorite Halloween movies, carve pumpkins, comment on how pretty the fall leaves are, and best of all, act like a kid again.
Traditionally, the holiday rankings go something like this: Christmas, Thanksgiving, and then Halloween as a solid number three. A 2015 Harris Poll confirmed that 46 percent of people consider Christmas to be their favorite holiday, followed by Thanksgiving at 19 percent, and Halloween at 9 percent. (Fourth of July comes, appropriately, in a distant fourth at 5 percent.) But more recently, tables have been turning. It may be almost impossible to knock Christmas out of first place, but millennials have pushed Halloween forward to their second favorite holiday of the season. Millennials prefer Halloween over Thanksgiving at 17 percent versus 13 percent.
Halloween’s also the kind of holiday where it’s totally acceptable to put your clothes on inside out and walk backward (if you want to see a witch). Halloween is spooky, silly, and sweet, and we’d like to make it even sweeter by offering these free downloadable puppets just for you and your kids, or your nieces and nephews. Print out Ghost, Mummy, Witchy Woman, and their friends, Spider, Cat, and Bat, and have them go on a Halloween adventure they’ll never forget!
