Perhaps it?s a time when you lock and bolt the doors, close the windows, shutters and blinds from sundown to sunrise on the eve of Halloween because? well, why exactly? Do you dress up? Do you decorate your home with lights and set pumpkins outside in the garden, hang masks, cloaks and spiders in the windows? Perhaps you do some or all of these things but have you ever wondered where Halloween originated and what exactly it meant? Have you wondered why we do these kinds of activities for Halloween?
