I just love the atmosphere in the air, the kids in their Halloween costumes, the treats...it's just alot of fun. Several years ago, I use to work at a Christian Day Care as a Care Provider. The owner of the day care would not let any of the Care Providers celebrate Halloween with the children, because they felt that it was all about evil. My opinion is, it's how a person looks at it in their own perspective. There are many churches that enjoy celebrating Halloween and having parties for the children (of all ages). I can still remember when I was little and the Lutheran church that my family attended would have a "walk through" Haunted House in the fellowship hall of the church every year. It was loads of fun. Just before it started, the pastor or our church would say that there was nothing to be afraid of, that it was all just in fun, and that the Good Lord will always protect us. I can still remember my older sister taking me through the haunted house and how I would just scream at the top of my lungs all the way through. Years later, my sister and I were talking about the "early" years, and she told me that it took awhile for the ringing to get out of her ears LOL! Some good memories. Thank you for the interesting story and facts about the origin of Halloween. Happy Halloween...BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I enjoy Halloween as well.

Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. The most fun I have ever had on Halloween was in the French Quarter, in New Orleans, watching all of the costumed merry makers stroll by. In a setting like that, those from the spirit world, could easily blend in with the crowd. It did make me wonder how many of those "people" were just taking advantage of the occasion for a night on the town and out of the crypts. BOO! Thank you so much for the Halloween History.

I had heard about dressing up...that it was born from the belief that people wouldn't be recognized by the ghosts that would be lurking the areas that night. I had no idea about the bobbing for apples or for how trick or treating began...this was really cool to read! Happy Halloween.....and Happy Samhain!
