Halloween is an excellent time for family fun. The Internet is a great resource for fun ideas for your family from creating invitations for your party to decorating your desktop with Halloween images.
Did you know? This started in the U.S. as a harvest festival. Our Irish emigrants brought us the Jack o Lantern originally oversized rutabagas, turnips and potatoes were hollowed out, carved into faces and illuminated with candles. In the old country on Halloween, Irish peasants would beg the rich for food. For those that refused, they would play a practical joke. In an effort to avoid being tricked, the rich would hand out cookies, candy, and fruit, a practice that morphed into trick-or-treating today.
