hearing complaining

I've heard some women complaining about Halloween and not wanting to celebrate it at all with their children. I think it's an opportunity to have fun with your family, also an opportunity to teach some history. I love to dress up and I've already made my costume and I'm decorating for a party where I work this evening...FUN!!!

Fun Fact:
Halloween traditions of trick-or-treating and jack-o-lanterns were brought to America in the 1840s by Irish escaping the Great Potato Famine. On Halloween, Irish peasants begged the rich for food and played practical jokes on those who refused. To avoid being tricked, the rich handed out cookies, candies, and fruit - a practice that turned into our present day trick-or-treating.
