BOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I decided what would be more appropriate than GHOSTS on Halloween. Imagine my surprise when I went to dictionary.com and typed in Halloween and it said NOT.
Seems the correct spelling is Hallowe'en and I lived 65 years and never knew that fact. Plus a few more facts I don't know, I am sure.
If you want to know where, why and when and how on Hallowe'en, just click on THIS LINK and it will take you to more than you ever want to know.
Per Wikipedia, the whole thing started in 7th century, as an All Saints Day to remember the Saints, Hallow means make holy or sanctify, Eve means of course evening. A day was set aside to remember them. The origin of the festival of All Saints as celebrated in the West dates to May 13, 609 or 610, when Pope Boniface IV

In the 9th century our ancestors started changing things and over the century's since then it has been All Souls Day, Day of the Dead and many other creative names. the ghost part comes in when they called it the day of Veneration of the Dead. which means a day of respect for the dead that have gone before us.
Somewhere along the thousands of years, we came up with what we have now and i don't even want to go there. what once was is no more, Look what we have done to Christmas and Valentines day. Commercialism at its worst.
This is my post on Halloween and I am sticking to it. My Ghost's are all FRIENDLY.
The Point IS, this started out as a Christian Holiday and I am going with that fact.
Have a BOOOOO ti FUL day......
