🎃👻 !Happy Spooktober Trick or Treaters! 🎃👻

 

 

Are you ready for your worst nightmares to appear on your doorstep this Halloween?

 

 

🍬 🍭 Trick or Treating! 🍭🍬

 

Trick or Treat! Only the best part of Halloween! There are so many houses and places to find all the lollies in the world! But Don’t forget Halloween is all about having fun and enjoying the adventure, don’t forget to be respectful to the other residents & Trick or Treaters in the area! Its also super important to remember not everyone will be in the spooky mood, so if your neighbours don’t answer their door it would be the neighbourly thing to move along to the next house. Most people who don’t want to be disturbed will have the front porch light off or a sign on their door.

(The QLD Police have a printable sign on their website for unwanted spooksters or click the link –  Halloween Door Signs).

 

🍭 Don’t forget the magic words… Trick or Treat 🍭

 Halloween’s Origin?

 

• It originates from the Celtic people group who lived over 2000 years ago, In the area now known as Ireland, United Kingdom & Northern France.
• The Celtic’s held a Samhain (Pronounced sow-in) Festival on the 31^st October every year. This day marked the end of Summer and the harvest as well as the coming of a dark and cold Winter, which commonly resulted in mass amounts of Human Deaths.
• It was also of their belief that on that day each year the worlds between the living and the dead would become blurred and the ghosts of the dead could return to earth. The Celtic people believed that the ghosts of the dead could destroy crops and their livestock. They would create large sacred bonfires to sacrifice crops, livestock
  to the Celtic Deities. During the celebration, they would wear costumes customarily made of animal head & skin.
• In the time since then many cultures & countries have adapted the traditions leading us to Halloween, we celebrate today.
