  "account": "The casual, carefree spirit of Halloween isn't limited to children, as adults can appreciate its absurdity too. In a 2022 essay for The Atlantic, Faith Hill wrote that the holiday's childishness is what makes it so valuable to grown-ups. Tradition may have shifted over time, with pranks and mischief giving way to trick-or-treating and bar crawls, but the essence remains: the freedom to do something for pure enjoyment, even if it means appearing a little silly.",
  "summary": "A holiday devoted to costumes and candy offers grown-ups a chance to embrace their silly side.",
