Halloween Thrills

Yes, dear or mere mortals, that time of year is coming upon us once again. The witching hour, the time when the veil is lifted for a moment to allow a glimpse into another world, the nether world of ghosts and ghoulies, critters and spectres. Do not go walking alone on abandoned moors or heath lands or on cemetaries at midnight. What am I talking about you may well ask? Well, Halloween of course, what else? Yes, the streets will once gain be filled with skeletons, pointy withes' hats complete with the odd broom stick, monsters and munsters and what have you?

When I lived in England the whole notion of trick or treat was criticises at times as an unnecessary American import but I think it is sort of fun as long as it does not get out of hand. I know for a fact that children love to be thrilled by something a bit spooky. Hence the immense success of some of the late Roald Dahl's books for instance. Children are little people but can be quite matter of fact and even mature in their approach to the big questions in life.

So, by alll means let us have a great time this Halloween. Let us spook one another silly, chill our selves to the bone, shiver with delight at the strangeness in the air. It is only once a year after all and it does go back to an ancient tradition, at least in the Celtic countries. I am sure you can come up with some Awesome Halloween Costumes Ideas to make a really big impact this year. Let us do it!
