Origins of Halloween

This is digressing from fancy dress and costumes online but Halloween actually originates in the Celtic area which now makes up Ireland, the UK and the north of France. It goes back about 2000 years and the definition of Halloween is actually All Hallow’s Eve, meaning a hallowed evening. Halloween was a pagan festival although everyone chooses to ignore that now, and some say it was the end of the harvest. Today Halloween is about fun, dressing up as witches, wizards, ghosts, ghouls, skeletons, zombies and all things fun and fabulous. Dress up costumes can honestly be anything and everything and while the theme may be The Hallows, scary, dress up costumes can be fun and flighty too.
