The Upcoming Holiday
Halloween is a holiday originally celebrated as the final day before the harsh winter (it was a Pagan festival). It included fantastic bonfires and reinforcement of spirit repelling boundaries. However, what we celebrate is an Americanized version of such in which we dress as our favourite character and meander from street to street with a group of friends and a bucket of candy.
~Think of your favourite character. It doesn't have to be scary. Create or purchase the costume
~Get a plastic bag and a group of friends, despite how old you are. Start going from house to house and trick-or-treating
~Can't do that? Buy some candy and flip on your front porch light switch. Make sure to be wearing a mask...
