It's "All Hallows' Eve" again. That time of year that brings out the ghosts, goblins and monsters in each of us:-) But, the beginnings of this tradition found their roots with an ancient people, in another time, and another land an ocean away from here -- the Celts.
Wikipedia offered this information about this spooky day and the people that started the trend: The ancient Celts believed that the border between this world and the Otherworld became thin on Samhain, allowing spirits (both harmless and harmful) to pass through. The family's ancestors were honoured and invited home whilst harmful spirits were warded off. It is believed that the need to ward off harmful spirits led to the wearing of costumes and masks. Their purpose was to disguise oneself as a harmful spirit and thus avoid harm.
So don your most creepy mask and costume and make your choice...will it be trick, or will it be treat???? BWWWWWAHAHAHAHA....
