It’s time of the year again for HALLOWEEN!
Every country as we all know is having fun during this time of the year. Adults and kids alike are bumping each other literally in parties and even while walking on streets rushing here and there for an event wearing some funny, children’s book characters, super heroes and movie characters, scary and not scary at all costumes.
Well, here are some of great and ridiculous costumes I collected from MSN Wonder Walls.
(My particular favorite photo I have taken in Scotland. I remember of halloween when I see this one!)
"Halloween (or Hallowe'en) is an annual holiday observed on October 31, which commonly includes activities such as trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films."
"Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)", derived from the Old Irish Samuin meaning "summer's end".[1] Samhain was the first and by far the most important of the four quarter days in the medieval Irish calendar[2][3] and, falling on the last day of Autumn, it was a time for stock-taking and preparation for the cold winter months ahead." - Wikipedia
