Dressing Up?

The time of year for cosutmes is just around the corner. You know it! Halloween is only three days away! Have you got a costume yet? No, well you could be the usual, witch, ghost, or princess. What's the point of dressing up on Halloween? Who came up with this idea? Was someone accidently in their Grandmother's attic and trying on some clothes on Oct. 31st? Who know's? I don't . Halloween is another one of those holidays that no one seems to know the origin, but this holiday is special. This is the ONLY day in the entire 365 day year that little children and even teenagers can dress up in dorky outfits, ring the doorbells of complete strangers, and get candy. Don't get me wrong this is one tradition I love! Getting free candy and dressing up like a princess with out getting laughed at is a blast! But why do we do it? Has it been a tradition for so long that we just do it to do it; Or do we remember a time when people believed in witches and ghosts and feared for their very lives this dark and dreary Halloween night. halloween is supposed to be the scariest day of the year. Why couldn't somebody designate it the happiest day of the year. A day we could all dress like flowers and butterflies and visit a "Happy House" or the "Sweet Meadow Maze." Instead we scare ourselves so badly even the football players have nightmares. of course this is what makes Halloween fun. Even if we don't know where the holiday came from.
