The History of Halloween

Did you know Halloween was once called All Hallows Eve? Not originally a costumed event of children and adults running through neighborhoods gathering sweets and treats, All Hallows Eve was an intimate family event to honor their dearly departed with a feast and celebration. Of course there are more than one custom involved in the current evolution of the Halloween holiday. Want to know more? Click here for more on the history of Halloween.

Where to Buy Halloween Decorations?

I always love Targets Halloween collection. You can always find a unique item to add to your decor. Last year, I went to Target everyday for two weeks anxiously awaiting them to put out their goods. Boy they moved slowly with just a few items out each day. At least I was first and got what I considered to be the best of the lot. When buying Halloween decorations, buy quality. Manufacturers recognize the disposable aspect of certain holiday products and then cater to that market, knowing that you'll be back. Problem is, many vendors make a product for only one or two years and then discontinue that item forever. Click here for a good listing of resources for Halloween decorations.
