Celebrating Halloween at Home & FAQs

Why Do We Dress Up on Halloween?

These early party people would often put on costumes to keep away any evil spirits before All Saint's Day. And, on all Hallows' Eve, dwellers would wear masks to not being recognized by the ghosts that they believed were walking around the town.

Times marched on and young Irish, as well as Scottish tricksters, would begin to dress up in scary costumes to spooking their friends & neighbors for fun. However, fast forward to 50s America when the whole holiday became much more popular. A family-friendly evening, with vibrant, creative as well as pleasant costumes, emerged.

Why Trick-or-Treat Candy?

The 2nd Nov marked the third holiday for these Halloween trailblazers - the All Soul's Day. During the Middle Ages, kids would go "souling", collect food or money in exchange for saying prayers for the dead.

The "using" practice cam next in Scotland where kids and teenagers would perform at the doorstep of their people next door to tell jokes, sing, and then reward fruit, wine, or coins.

In the 1920s, children in North America would play tricks on their neighbors, following the traditions, and they promptly chased out with sweets & candies.
