Halloween is such a fun holiday and it enjoyed by both children adults alike.  I thought today I would share a few fun facts about Halloween, some of these seemed fun and rather interesting, which makes it perfect for sharing :).  Happy reading...

• According to the National Confectioners Association, chocolate makes up about three-quarters of a trick-or-treater’s loot

• Candy corn has been made with the same recipe by the Jelly Belly Candy Company since around 1900

• Halloween is known to be the second most commercially successful holiday to Christmas

• Orange and Black are traditional Halloween colors for a reason. Orange was chosen because of its association with the fall harvest and Black was chosen due to its association with darkness

• Classic Halloween costumes include skeletons, witches, vampires, ghosts, pop culture costumes such as current politicians, cartoon characters, or famous film stars

• The first American Halloween celebrations were public events that were created in honor of the harvest; friends would come together and spend their night telling all kinds of spooky stories, as well as predicting fortunes, dancing and singing

It's always great to read about the history of how things came to be.  Halloween originated from an ancient Celtic celebration that occurred on October 31st every year.  There's not much more to the story but leave it to us Americans to turn it into a celebration with lots of spooky scary fun and the best part of all CANDY!!
