Halloween
“The name “Halloween” came from the Christian All Souls’ Day celebration, also known as “All-hallows.” With All-hallows being on November 1, the name All Hallows Eve was shortened to Halloween.”
Enjoy,

Halloween was one of Molly’s favorite holidays.

She enjoyed this time because of the fun time of dressing up in a costume and of course the sweets that were in volved with the efforts.

We used to play scary music and have several ghostly images around in the yard.

We didn’t put too much emphasis on it being a pagan holiday or all the dark sides of the celebration.

Instead, we looked at the creativity that went into the costumes and the generosity of neighbors who helped fill the little ones trick or treat bags.
I think what I remember and like the most about this holiday is that you could dress up and be whatever you wanted to be.
Many would-be policemen, astronauts, princesses, fairies maybe even mermaids.
The imagination would go from real-life characters to made-up or imagined figures such as aliens or ghosts.
This is where I saw the fun in Halloween, is being able to project yourself into something that you thought you might want to be or try being.
If you stop and think about it, isn’t this part of how we form ourselves into who we are?
What you think and imagine is what can become real if that is what you want.
I think I should have dressed up as a farmer more often, maybe the reality would have appeared.
Now the time is enjoyed with my girls and grandkids.

I hope you find this time to be fun and not taken too seriously.

Quick Tip
“As for black cats, the idea of being spooked by the felines actually has roots in the Middle Ages. Back then, many believed that witches avoided detection by turning themselves into black cats.”
