Halloween 2023 was a lot of fun. I had many events to go to and dressed up in 3 costumes. In the US, Halloween really symbolizes the start of the holiday season.
Did you know many people tend to gain some weight during the period between Halloween π and Christmas π , often referred to as the βholiday seasonβ? This can be attributed to various factors, including the abundance of festive π and indulgent food π, reduced physical activity due to colder weather π₯Ά, and the increased number of social gatherings and parties. π₯
