I just adore Halloween; I guess you could call me a big kid. It's the one night of the year when I get to dress up and pretend to be somebody else. Kids go from house to house getting lots of treats and candy that they normally don't get to eat. People tell grizzly stories about the living dead. It's a night of fun and pranks.

A Celtic festival named Samhain was the start of Halloween; it marked the end of summer. It's also the traditional day of harvest celebrations, as well as marking the Celtic New Year. The Celtics have the belief that the boundary that exists between the living and dead is lowered, and the dead can once again become living on October 31st.
When the dead returned to life they often played dirty tricks on the crops. They've caused illness to the living and ruined crops in entire areas. Living in fear of this happening, people would hold a bonfire and offer gifts and offerings to the spirits in the fire. These offerings would please the spirits, who would then help the Druids to make predictions about the future. People looked forward to a good prediction to help them get through the long winter months with a sense of comfort.
The name Halloween originated from All Hallows Eve, a Christian celebration. All Hallows Day is celebrated on November 1st, so of course Halloween is celebrated on October 31st. Many families today enjoy collecting small buildings and creating a diorama representing a Halloween Village. This village can grow over the years to include new buildings.
The Halloween village may have vampires and ghouls. They have zombie workers. They could even have ghost trains and ghost ships. Let your imagination fly with the creation of your Halloween village.
