In order not to be possessed people would dress up in costumes and terrorize their neighborhoods. The villagers in Ireland would also hold a town celebration with food offerings to the saints. These offerings came from farmers who would go door to door begging for food. They would also decorate their homes with skulls, skeletons, and jack-o-lanterns in hopes of warding off evil spirits. The 19th century is when Halloween lost its religious connection and became the community based holiday it is today.
Chapter 7: "Centennial Summer—1935" On Joe and Mary Alice's last annual summer visit to Grandma Dowdel's, the town is in the midst of a gala celebration commemorating "A Century of Progress." Although Grandma feigns disinterest, she tells the children that there will be a talent show that they just might "look in on" and a parade that they can view from the porch. Grandma sends her grandchildren up into the attic again, this time to search for appropriate old-time attire for all of them to wear to the festivities. Mary Alice discovers a lovely white... 1. Grandma Dowdel lies to the reporter from the city about Shotgun Cheatham.
For me, Hubbing is very therapeutic and gives me something to do. I hate when you find a neat project or picture on Pinterest and click it to find out it's just a bogus/fake post with no description or instructions! Ugh! While I started Hubbing before I became obsessed with Pinterest, I kept Hubbing and sort of found my crafting and cooking niche because I was happy to share with anyone who was interested. A Christmas movie serves as a soundtrack while the tree is twinkling and sparkling in the background.

George does not see how the clown in the party does not know whom Bozo the Clown is.
For my community service project I chose to work with Chick-fil-A . Every year they host a Trunk-or-Treat event in the parking lot which consists of having local businesses have the trunk of their car decorated like a front door. The kids dress up for Halloween then go trunk to trunk picking up goodies, candies, and little toys that the individual businesses are handing out. The kids enjoy this event because it is like they get two Halloweens, instead of just one. The kids who participate also get a free kids meal from Chick-fil-A, and who passes up a free meal.

From the Big Bang to the Garden of Eden to the circumstances of our own births, we yearn to travel back to that distant time when everything was new and full of promise. Perhaps then, we tell ourselves, we can start to make sense of the convoluted mess we are in today. But beginnings are rarely as clear-cut as we would like them to be. Take, for example, the event that most Americans associate with the start of the United States: the voyage of the Mayflower.” (Nathaniel Philbrick). Every year late in November, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving; a holiday which one is thankful for the house they live in, clothes on their back, food on their plate and family who love them dearly.

For me, 'Star Wars' played a huge part in my childhood and some of the lessons it taught me are still very much a part of my life to this day.
