Noah Webster identifies Halloween as “October 31: observed especially with dressing up in disguise, trick-or-treating, and displaying jack o’ lanterns during the evening.” Concise and correct, but it is so much more than just an evening. It is really a state of mind and an excuse for merrymaking, revelry, and masquerade by both children as well as adults. Halloween, short for All Hallow’ Eve, has its origins dating back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, the Celtic New Year’s festival. All Hallows really means “summer’s end” and the festival celebrated the end of the harvest season and the coming of winter.
