Halloween is a great time to be a kid or an adult, as long as you love to wear costumes, right? Most people love the thought of being someone else for a night and stuffing their faces with candy or alcohol, whichever you like more. One year I remember having my fair share of both, only to spend the next day hugging the toilet and seeing all that chocolate again. Never a dull Halloween these, but how did this holiday start anyways? Better yet, What was it about when it all started?

The History Channel has a great page all about it, new to 2018 too. You can find all the info dating back to the start of Halloween. It tells you how all these different holidays and traditions turned into the Halloween we love today. It surprised me to find out that Halloween in America started out with people going door to door asking for money or food and that was in the 1800's! It wasn't exactly the Halloween we know today. It's kinda crazy that it developed into such a spectacular event for all ages circled around candy and costumes. If you want a good read and to learn more about this popular holiday head on over to https://www.history.com/topics/halloween/history-of-halloween and check it out! It tells you all about the history of trick-or-treating, black cats, Halloween parties, and much more!

Obviously as a kid, most of us have fond memories of Halloween. I talked earlier about I cannot remember a dull Halloween in my life. What about Halloween these days? Personally, I have a huge family and love all trying to have a costume that coincides with one another. Then the kids go to bed and the adults drink and eat the kids candy, if its not a work night that is. Being an adult isn't all it is cracked up to be. So, What are you favorite things to do for Halloween? Any tradition you love? Any costumes you have in mind or a dead set on? Remember, It's high time for Halloween talk; spark that conversation today!
