You might have been celebrating “all things spooky” since we flipped the calendar to October. AND…today’s the day! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Do you know someone who really isn’t a fan of Halloween? Maybe you. So…let’s try and find some positive things about today.

It’s a great outlet for your imagination. Step outside your everyday life for one night.
It brings neighbours together.
It supports local businesses with parties!
Fun fact: think about the actual concept of “trick or treating”. Going from home to home and sometimes asking strangers for candy. TRICK OR TREATING came from a tradition called “souling”. It can be traced back to the Middle Ages where people dressed up in costumes to repel the spirits that walked the Earth.
