Halloween has been linked by some folklorist to the festival and feast of Pomona of Ancient Rome. Ancient Romans believed that Pomona was a goddess who watched over and cared for fruiting trees, orchards, and gardens. Pomona was not associated with the harvesting of fruits, but rather with the flourishing of the trees. She was skilled in pruning and grafting, a labor of love in which she became completely absorbed. Pomona’s name was derived from the Latin word ‘pomum’ meaning ‘fruit.’ She is often depicted holding a platter of fruit or a cornucopia (horn of plenty). Her festival and feast day is observed on 13 August of each year. Many Halloween customs and games that feature apples, such as bobbing for apples, and nuts, date from Ancient Roman times. For this reason, Halloween has at times been called San-Apple Night and Nutcrack Night, and in times past, trick-or-treaters received mostly fruits and nuts rather than candy.

The Halloween House
I’m told there’s a Green Thing in there.
And the sign on the gate says, “Beware!”
But of course it’s not true.
That’s why I’m sending you
To sneak in and find out - but take care!

Halloween Greetings!
A hobgoblin remarked to his mate,
“Hurry up there, old sport, we’ll be late;
And I fear from the looks
Of our neighbors, the Spooks
They will get first to Earth, sure as fate.”

Pumpkin
We bought a fat orange pumpkin
The plumpest sort they sell.
We neatly scooped the inside out
And only left the shell.
We carved a funny funny-face
Of silly shape and size,
A pointy nose, a jagged mouth
And two enormous eyes.
We set it in a window
And we put a candle in,
Then lit it up for all to see
Our Jack O’Lantern grin.

How to Make a Ghost Costume for Halloween. Take an old bedsheet and cut a hole in its center slightly smaller than your head, because somehow, the hole will always end up being larger than what it seemed when you cut it. Alternatively, cut two holes for your eyes to see through and if you like, one hole for your mouth, in the sheet. The holes do not have to be perfect. Slip the sheet over your head and examine the length, which should fall no lower than your knees or perhaps your ankles. Cut away all material that falls below either your knees or your ankles to prevent yourself from tripping on it. If needed, tie a length of white sheet or rope about your waist to help keep the sheet under control. To complete the look, carry a pillowcase to hold all the goodies you collect. Practice making ghostly noises as you walk from house to house.
When witches go riding
And black cats are seen,
The Moon laughs and whispers,
‘Tis near Halloween!

Halloween is commonly associated with the Celtic festival of Samhain, pronounced as ‘sow-an’ or ‘sow-in,’ and derived from the Gaelic word ‘samuin’ meaning ‘Summer’s end.’ In Medieval Ireland and Scotland, the Samhain festival was held at sunset on 31 October and lasted through daylight on 1 November. It marked the ending of the Autumn harvest season, and the beginning of the dark season of Winter, with its shorter days and longer nights. It was a time for stocktaking and preparation for the cold barren months ahead. There was also a sense that this was the time of year when the physical and supernatural worlds were closest and strange things could happen. People thought that evil spirits could enter our world and steal the souls of good people, so they dressed in costumes to disguise themselves as ghouls and other spooks in hope of escaping being noticed by the evil spirits thought to be wandering the streets during Samhain. People also put out treats of food and drinks in front of their homes, and went from house to house enjoying the treats. Some believe that from this custom arose the Christian custom called ‘souling’ which itself became what we know as ‘trick-or-treating.’ Fires were lit to ward off the spooks and to ensure the Sun would return after the long, hard Winter. Often Druid priests would throw the bones of cattle into the flames, making them ‘bone fires’ from which came the word ‘bonfire.’
Laura: Why was the witch’s cat giggling hysterically?
Delores: Because it was a giggle-puss.

Halloween has links to Christian holy days, or holidays. The word ‘Halloween’ is short for ‘All Hallows’ Eve,’ which takes place on 31 October of each year and is a time for celebrating the Christian conquest of evil. All Hallows’ Eve is the evening before All Hallows’ Day (also called Hallowmas or All Saints’ Day), which takes place on 1 November of each year to celebrate saints. All Souls’ Day, which takes place on 2 November of each year, is a time for praying for the departed on their journey to Heaven. In an effort to convert pagans to Christianity, the Roman Catholic Church assimilated the traditions of the pagan holidays that fell on or around 31 October into the Christian holy days called All Hallows’ Eve (Halloween), All Hallows’ Day, and All Souls’ Day. All Hallows’ Eve, or Halloween, was first declared a feast day by Pope Gregory IV in the year 835, and later instituted as a Christian celebration in connection with All Hallows’ Day (1 November) by Pope Boniface IV. By the end of the 12th century, these holy days had become days of holy obligation across Europe, and involved such traditions as ringing bells for the souls in purgatory and ‘souling,’ the custom of baking bread or ‘soul cakes’ for ‘all crysten (christened) souls.’ Souling is a predecessor to modern-day trick-or-treating; on All Hallows’ Day, the poor would go door-to-door offering prayers for the deceased in exchange for soul cakes.
Question: Why do mummies have trouble paying attention in school?

Remember, it’s not all about the costumes, but all about how people in costumes interact with other people. If you dress as a witch, know some fun witch things to say and how to cackle. If you are dressed as a ghost, know how to moan and say, “Boo!” If you are Frankenstein’s monster, practice the stiff-legs walk with your arms stretched horizontally at shoulder level in front of you.

Happy Halloween!
I’d rather be foolish than ghoulish,
I’d rather dress up as a clown;
I’d rather wear clothes with polka dot bows,
I’d much rather smile than frown.
I’d rather be kooky than spooky,
I’d rather be friendly than mean;
I’d rather go greeting than tricking and treating,
I’d rather have a fun Halloween!

How to Make a Halloween Ghost Decoration. Take a sheet of paper, a piece of tissue, a paper napkin, or a paper towel, and ball it up. Place it in the center of another piece of the same material and form the other piece around the balled-up piece. Tie with a piece of thread or string or bag tie. Draw eyes and mouth on your ghost with a pen or felt tip marker. Using a sewing needle and thread, attach a length of thread to the top of the ghost to tie it from a support such as a tree branch or porch ceiling. Party favor ghosts can be made by placing tissue over lollipops and tying it together.
