Halloween Photos

I love Halloween! It's the most fun when you have kids or adults who really enjoy goofing around and getting dressed up in fun costumes. Here's some Halloween Lore for the Season and Here's a few photos of me and mine dressed in All Hollow's Eve Fashion!

"Halloween had its beginnings in an ancient, pre-Christian Celtic festival of the dead. The Celtic peoples, who were once found all over Europe, divided the year by four major holidays. According to their calendar, the year began on a day corresponding to November 1st on our present calendar. The date marked the beginning of winter. Since they were pastoral people, it was a time when cattle and sheep had to be moved to closer pastures and all livestock had to be secured for the winter months. Crops were harvested and stored. The date marked both an ending and a beginning in an eternal cycle.

The festival observed at this time was called Samhain (pronounced Sah-ween). It was the biggest and most significant holiday of the Celtic year. The Celts believed that at the time of Samhain, more so than any other time of the year, the ghosts of the dead were able to mingle with the living, because at Samhain the souls of those who had died during the year traveled into the otherworld. People gathered to sacrifice animals, fruits, and vegetables. They also lit bonfires in honor of the dead, to aid them on their journey, and to keep them away from the living. On that day all manner of beings were abroad: ghosts, fairies, and demons--all part of the dark and dread." <Read More>

I have 2 parties to attend. One is a week early, but thats ok. I was going to do a "mini-chewy" (small Chewbacca) thing, but I didn't get sewing early enough, so I'm recycling an old costume of a city street construction worker with the orange vest,hard hat, etc..... Very simple costume, but it will be fun anyway.

Hey,
vernarial. Too bad you didnt start sewing early enough, mini chewy sounds way cool, orginal.
Put on your construction worker costumes and take photos! Lets see it.

Here's me in my 2nd costume as a masquerader~ Dosen't that rose look cool? It happened to be the same color as my dress and mask.

I'm having too much fun!
