Hello all, Benny here. Today is Halloween, the day when all
the ghouls and goblins come out to party with jack-o-lanterns and candy treats.
Back when I was a kid, I remember reading about children in
other parts of the world dressing up and going door to door to collect food and
coins. Though I never put on a costume of my own, I was fascinated by the idea
of becoming someone else for a brief period of time. That could have been the
reason why I became so enthralled with writing. Back then though, as
interesting as Halloween sounded, I never imagined that it would grow into the
popular festival it is today.
Like many people out there, I enjoy giving out candy to boys
and girls dressed as superheroes, celebrities and cartoon characters. Can you
imagine my surprise when I actually saw someone dressed as me once? That was a
real hoot!
To celebrate Halloween, I thought I’d share with you a small
timeline on its history. There really is a fascinating story behind this day,
and you should learn more about it when you get the chance.
As for me, I need to pick up a few goodies for the kids
coming over tonight. I don’t want them to leave empty handed. Have a safe and
happy Halloween!
Benny
