Happy Halloween!



Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble. ~Shakespeare

For those of you who aren't sure where Halloween comes from here's a little history for you. Halloween first began in Ireland with the Celtic. They believed that there was one day a year where the world of the living and the world of the dead alined. Americans left the tradition behind when they traveled to the New World however, in the 1800s when there was a great famine in England, Ireland, and Scotland, the tradition was reborn and is now one of the most anticipated holidays of the year for kids of all ages.
