Everyone knows what Halloween costumes are. It’s a fun day where everyone dresses up, has a blast and goes trick or treating. The key is dress up as something that you want to be and have a blast doing it!

Halloween costumes goes back an extremely long way. Some might trace origins of Halloween back to the Celts over two thousand years ago. Their New Year started on November first and they associated this time of year with death. It makes sense when you think of the seasons. It was a time of imagination and the unknown. If you go further into the future into Roman times, this time of year was associated with the harvest, festivals, All Saints Day, All-Hallows Eve and eventually Halloween. But, we’ll talk more about that in the history of Halloween.

However, in those festivals and events, it was very common for people to dress up as part of these festivals. Over the years, All Saints Day and All Hallows Eve were times to honor the dead and celebrate ancestors. In doing that, stories were popular and celebrating the dead also prompted costumes.

As these traditions moved to the United States and North America, people started to dress up on All Hallows Eve and go door to door asking for food or money…. and that brings us to modern day Halloween.
