Blog#8 BOO

My best Halloween EVER:

My Halloween plans include having a normal day on Saturday. Probably the best day to enjoy Halloween! I say this because Saturday you get to spend all day getting ready for Halloween. Also on Friday after school you can spend some time picking out your costume. This Halloween I am going with one of my friends which is going to be so much fun!!!

I would say my most favorite costume was when I was going to this party for my church or my old church that I don’t go to anymore. I dressed up as a horse or I tried to!!! I was a brown horse and I had a horse head and everything. I was pretty funny.

My favorite Halloween candy is chocolate and Snickers. I also like Skittles!! That candy I would say are my favorite of all. I hate peanut butter so that means I hate candy that has peanut butter in it….GROSS!!!

My history for Halloween:
Halloween is one of the world's oldest holidays, dating back to pagan times. But it is celebrated today by more people in more countries than ever before. There’s a simple reason: it is fun and it is good, clean, harmless fun for young and old alike! But the most plausible theory is that Halloween originated in the British Isles out of the Pagan Celtic celebration of
Samhain. It goes back as far as 5 B.C. It was believed that spirits rose from the dead and mingled with the living on this day. The Celts left food at their doors to encourage good spirits and wore masks to scare off the bad ones. Some historians believe that the Romans who invaded England added a few of their own traditions to the celebration of Samhain; such as celebrating the end of the harvest and honoring the dead; others say that since the Romans never conquered the Celts (Ireland and Scotland) there was no mingling of cultures, and that the Celts celebrated the end of the harvest and honored their dead in this way, anyway!

Thats my Halloween!!!
