Halloween Costume

My favorite Halloween costume was the costume I wore this year, which was a walrus onsie. I like this costume the most because it was big so I could wear it over my close, it was comfortable and warm which was helpful this Halloween since it was freezing, and I can just turn these into pajamas.
