Driving out evil spirits wearing scary costumes is one aspect of spring celebrations that somehow wandered over (from carnival to Halloween).<br />But the three days of Halloween celebration were originally more a time for reflection, or thinking of your ancestors that passed on and of reconciling yourself with the dark times ahead, combatting them defiantly with warm lights. You can still see traces of this more lovely side (I think) of Halloween in some family celebrations. It is one of my fav celebrations of the year, with my friends, and we have never dressed up for it. Well, put on some skeleton earrings and black clothes, maybe. But that is just a fond remembrance of our teen selves ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094203458237897505.post-71270759165402056932009-11-04T15:49:36.260-08:002009-11-04T15:49:36.260-08:00...schoolgirl.
