Halloween is one of our family’s favourite times of the year. We love dressing up in costumes, decorating our house, carving pumpkins, and celebrating the changing season. We had the first party inside the walls of our house since well, you know, that invisible creepy crawly moved around the world; separating and changing every one’s lives. We invited our son’s friends and their parents and had a lovely afternoon playing party games, dancing, and eating too much.
We have also come to understand Halloween’s roots in the old Celtic festival, Samhain. We appreciate summer has faded with the leaves on the trees. The winds start to blow, and the days get darker. The earth and air become colder. Auld Hallows Eve dawns, and our festivities begin.
