As I've mentioned before, Halloween is my F-A-V-O-R-I-T-E holiday of all. So it is with a heart filled with joy I tell you we are four days away from Old Hallow's Eve! I am irritated to tell you that my facebook will not load but that is an entirley different rant that I shall not go into as of right now. But I've decided that I shall be trick-or-treating this year against what I had previously planned. Who can resist free candy? And dressing up and glavanting about like an idiot is always enjoyable.
But talking about the trick-or-treating festivities was not what I intended to do when i began typing this so I shall refrain here on out from doing just that. For the next four days, if I get on frequently enough and have the will power, I will insigiht some interesting and hopefully humorous Halloween knowledge upon you.
So, my first bit of holiday knowledge for you is about the origins of Halloween. It actually began as a holiday celebrated by the Celts called Samhain. Get this, children went around that day and asked for food! Not just candy, food. That sounds like my kind of celebration. I call for a Halloween reform! Anyways, priests were the head of these things and they were called Druids. Everytime I read that I think of Star Wars. New life goal here!
Check back tommorow for more Halloween knowledge! And never, ever, ever look behind you on the 31st if you hear someone walking behind you by chance....
