The witches were gathered in their coven one night,
incantations were flying and creating a fright.
They howled and they shuddered and cackled with glee,
as they added more ingredients to their midnight’s tea.
Three pinches of moss mites, two scrapes of a gator
and four full tablespoons of over-ripened capers.
Oh, the steam was now rising in misty curlicues
as the tea went on steeping while they looked for their shoes.
“Those are mine”, said one. “No, they’re not”, retorted the other.
“Yours are Manolo Blahnik’s, mine are the Jimmy Choos!”

/ October 17, 2010My knowledge is very limited. But I know the foundation of beliefs that started thousands of years ago (maybe before) with the Celts whose new year started on November 1. They had festivals that celebrated the end of summer and the beginning of the cold, long winter days. They believed that on the eve of their new year, October 31, the land of the living and dead became blurred and that ghosts of the dead returned to earth. There were celebrations with people dressing in animal heads and costumes hoping to scare away the ghosts.
Hundreds of years later Christianity was taking over the Celtic beliefs and the church started a celebration which came to be called All Hallow’s Eve that eventually became known as Halloween.
As time evolved it became a time of celebration with autumn festivals and it was not until the mid-nineteenth century that parties became popular and children started going from house to house asking for food or candy which eventually became known as today’s “trick or treat”.
It was the baby boom of the 1950s in America that really started the Halloween tradition that we know today with just about every child old enough, donning a costume and celebrating Halloween through parties and trick or treating.
This is a very edited historical accounting of how it came about. But it goes way back in history beginning in Europe.

/ October 19, 2010Some people like to make the costumes for their children and paint their faces with all kinds of makeup to make them look like a ghoul or a witch, etc. Many children like to dress up as nice characters too, like princesses or fairies or characters out of their favorite movies or books. They look so cute!
But now most people buy costumes at the store. The stores are packed with costumes now and they are selling tons of candy. You wouldn’t believe how much candy is sold.
I wish we had “snaps” of those days with me dressed up, but we don’t. We had so much fun. A childhood friend and I were just reminiscing about those very days!
