YUP it is definitely that time of year again for witches to don their pointed hats and take flight into the moonlit sky. Halloween is definitely just a mysterious, fun, spooky, and special time of the year. The “celebration” of Halloween has varied for everyone throughout the years and means different things to different cultures and people, but most can agree on one thing: IT IS FUN! Not only is it fun but it brings people together. Perhaps not in the same way as the Major Holidays, but nonetheless it unites friends and children alike in the pursuit of the most important things…creativity and fun.
I love seeing people’s costume ideas. Having done makeup and costuming myself in college, I deeply appreciate when someone can truly surprise and do something I’ve never thought of before. I also LOVE making my own costume and makeup. I have so much fun expressing myself by donning a disguise and having a night where I can totally be someone else for a while and keep people guessing as to who or what I am!
Also, parties are forte of mine. Decorations for Halloween can range from kid friendly and silly, to gothic, to downright terrifying! Me I stick with the gothic and rustic feel. There is something so ethereal and unreal about jack o lanterns surrounded by black and white lace with spider webs and bats. I love seeing antique candelabras with black candles and tabletops adorned with spooky props.
Later this week I will be showing some of my Halloween food ideas that I will be presenting at a Halloween party at my friend’s house and I would love others to use these ideas and tell me what they think!
For now though, just enjoy the atmosphere and relish in the excitement of the children and the partygoers. Enjoy the mystery and the magick of this autumn celebration and remember … Stay away from water, stay out of the sun, no broom joy riding, and by all means…don’t TP the werewolves house!
