Though Halloween has always been about scary things like ghosts, goblins,
and witches, some get more excited about things that are pretty disgusting.
Though your children may not want to eat Brussels sprouts or broccoli
throughout the year because they are gross, this is one time of the year
when they are going to go bonkers for the chance to slice into a brain,
or to perhaps gobble down a handful of severed fingers.
We may never understand the difference, but we can certainly go with it.
Find some fun and gross Halloween recipes to serve on this fun day.
Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31. It has roots in the Celtic
festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints. It is largely a
secular celebration, but some Christians and Pagans have expressed strong
feelings about its religious overtones.
Irish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America during
Ireland's Great Famine of 1846. The day is often associated with the
colors orange and black, and is strongly associated with symbols such as
the jack o lantern. Halloween activities include trick or treating, ghost tours,
bonfires, costume parties, visiting haunted attractions,
carving jack o lanterns, reading scary stories, and watching horror movies.
Halloween is a dramatic introduction to fall. The weather is changing
