I Choose Darkness: A Holiday Essay is a short nonfiction essay by Jenny Lawson, published as an Amazon Original and written in the unmistakable style that made her a bestselling humor author. The piece is less a formal argument than a comic personal reflection on why Halloween feels more meaningful, more comfortable, and more authentic to Lawson than the conventional pressures of the holiday season, especially Christmas. Drawing on childhood memories, rural Texas settings, and her adult life with year-round Halloween decor, she presents Halloween as a space for imagination, mischief, and emotional relief rather than obligation. The essay is brief, fast-moving, and heavily rooted in self-deprecating humor, tangents, and exaggerated observations. Its purpose is not to teach holiday planning or offer a universal seasonal philosophy, but to validate readers who relate to alternative celebrations, dark humor, and the feeling that mainstream festive expectations can be exhausting rather than joyful.
