Happy Halloween

Every one has a kid inside them that loves Halloween! It's fun to dress up, be silly, eat too much, be scary and generally make the day a fun festive occassion. But, where did Halloween get it's start? Halloween has it's origins in the ancient festival called Samhain which is derived from Old Irish and roughly translates to "summers end". Samhain celebrates the end of the "lighter half" of the year and the beginning of the "darker half" and is sometimes referred to as the "Celtic New Year". Whatever Halloween means to you, celebrate, enjoy, be thankful for friends and family and please be safe. From me to you, Happy Halloween!!
