It is that time of year again. That is when the ghouls, goblins, ghosts and all other netherworld denizens are let loose upon us,looking for their treats and the occasional tricks of course.
Outside of the revelry, candy swapping and several impromptu parades that marks the celebration of Halloween is the less known positive effects of expectation that comes with it and all the other celebratory occasions on our calendar. Halloween is not a holiday, although perhaps it should be, but like any other celebration, such as Christmas, new year or easter, it sets the stage for another opportunity to have some unadulterated fun for kids and adults alike. Unlike the other holidays, Halloween seems to bring the community out making everyone a participant.
Halloween may be of European extraction, but being partly a celebration of a bounty harvest, it has its equivalent in most countries. These holidays create an expectation of hope which is very good for the psyche and therefore health and wellness of all those who participate in it. It comes only once a year, just like all other holidays and so there is no excuse for not going out and have some fun.
Costumes are the mark of Halloween and they are out there in all forms and shapes. One that I found really interesting and that should honour the memory of Michael Jackson is the Wacko Jacko Mask from Fright Catalog website.
However if you would rather make your own costumes at home, and get some interesting recipes and ideas for Halloween, then you might be interested in this Halloween ideas ebook. You can get ideas to construct a theme park for trick and treating neighbors to admire and make yourself the talk of the town.
Remember, it is a once a year event, so let us go out and have some serious fun.
