Halloween is one of the oldest holidays with origins going back
thousands of years. The holiday we know as Halloween has had many
influences from many cultures over the centuries. From the Roman's
Pomona Day, to the Celtic festival of Samhain, to the Christian
holidays of All Saints and All Souls Days.
Hundreds of years ago in what is now Great Britain and Northern
France, lived the Celts. The Celts worshipped nature and had many
gods, with the sun god as their favorite. It was "he" who
commanded their work and their rest times, and who made the earth
beautiful and the crops grow.
The Celts celebrated their New Year on November 1st. It was
celebrated every year with a festival and marked the end of the
"season of the sun" and the beginning of "the season of darkness
and cold."
On October 31st after the crops were all harvested and stored for
the long winter the cooking fires in the homes would be
extinguished. The Druids, the Celtic priests, would meet in the
hilltop in the dark oak forest (oak trees were considered sacred).
The Druids would light new fires and offer sacrifices of crops and
animals. As they danced around the fires, the season of the
sun passed and the season of darkness would begin.
When the morning arrived the Druids would give an ember from their
fires to each family who would then take them home to start new
cooking fires. These fires would keep the homes warm and free from
evil spirits.
The November 1st festival was called Samhain (pronounced
"sow-en"). The festival would last for 3 days. Many people would
parade in costumes made from the skins and heads of their animals.
This festival would become the first Halloween.
During the first century the Romans invaded Britain. They brought
with them many of their festivals and customs. One of these was
the festival know as Pomona Day, named for their goddess of fruits
and gardens. It was also celebrated around the 1st of November.
After hundreds of years of Roman rule the customs of the Celtic's
Samhain festival and the Roman Pomona Day mixed becoming 1 major
fall holiday.
The next influence came with the spread of the new Christian
religion throughout Europe and Britain. In the year 835 AD the
Roman Catholic Church would make November 1st a church holiday to
honor all the saints. This day was called All Saint's Day, or
Hallowmas, or All Hallows. Years later the Church would make
November 2nd a holy day. It was called All Souls Day and was to
honor the dead. It was celebrated with big bonfires, parades, and
people dressing up as saints, angels and devils.
But the spread of Christianity did not make people forget their
early customs. On the eve of All Hallows, Oct. 31, people
continued to celebrate the festivals of Samhain and Pomona Day.
Over the years the customs from all these holidays mixed. October
31st became known as All Hallow Even, eventually All Hallow's Eve,
Halloween, and then - Halloween.
The Halloween we celebrate today includes all of these influences,
Pomona Day's apples, nuts, and harvest, the Festival of Samhain's
black cats, magic, evil spirits and death, and the ghosts,
skeletons and skulls from All Saint's Day and All Soul's Day.

Birthday Child: Age: 4-7
Gender: M
This was a great birthday idea for my son. Not only does he love
Harry Potter, but you can use a lot of this for a Halloween party. |
Birthday Child: Age: 4-7
Gender: M
This party was a hit! The gift boxes are definitely worth the money
and the kids really enjoyed them. Of the four assorted emergency vehicles
included in the gift boxes, the fire truck was the biggest hit. All
the kids wanted fire trucks, so one suggestion would be to provide only
the fire trucks. I ordered the deluxe package with gift boxes and all
the products were of high quality and came nicely packaged. I also used
the free fire truck electronic invitation, and got a lot of positive
comments. I would definitely recommend using this for your on-line friends.

Birthday Child: Age: 1-3

My son is an avid fan of Harry Potter and the characters, and he is
only 2 years old. I especially like that you get a nice amount of
items in the packages to create a magical birthday party for your
child and others. |
Birthday Child: Age: 4-7
Gender: F
This princess gown is wonderful!! The quality of the material, and the
feel to a child's skin is terrific. There is nothing worse than buying
a costume and having it itch your child the entire time. I have always
bought Disney Store costumes and this is right up there with theirs,
maybe even a better value! I am so glad I tried your web site. Delivery
was fast too!! I am confident that I will return to this site often
and recommend it to my friends. |

We picked this theme for my son's 2nd birthday and we went all out with
the cowboy hats and pony rides. I kept getting compliments all day on
the gift boxes. It was a great party and the deluxe packages are the
way to go. It has everything you need for a successful party. I'm going
to use you for all my kid's parties. |
