One of my brothers friends bought a cheney, bush, obama, bernanke, greenspan, emanuel and pelosi masks among others. The plan is to have my brother and his friends all walk in a group with a rope around them and Ron Paul holding the rope cracking a bull whip moving them all forward. My sister is dressing up as dorthy from the OZ movie because she has a toto dog. (LOL) holding a sign GITMO or HANGED. I hope my Ron Paul mask gets to us on time, if not I have the V mask and cape from 2007. LOL This isn't for trick or treat though, it's for my towns parade. Cost us 112.00 to enter. LMAO The Martins brothers will have their horses in this year dressed upas the 4 horsemen .. only they added 2 others. They won't tell us what they are till parade night when we line up. This will be a fun Halloween parade !!! Woot Woot !!!

There is a new show coming out called the Walking Dead. I like the music they play on the trailer, and these people are on the run from hoards of Zombies. I don't know if I can take watching it, I think I'll be exhausted in my head, running all the time, scared of being infected. And the only way to kill a Zombie is to destroy the head. I think! But you'll never get all of them!

But take heed lest by anymeans THIS LIBERTY OF YOURS become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
For if any man ssee thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the Idols temple,shall not the Conacience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat things whic are offered to idols.
An through thy knowledge shall the weak brother parish,for whom Christ died.1COR.8

Beetree, don't forget to double tap. LOL

Thanks for the tip BabyEagle, I don't play that, but I just noticed there is a free LiON app with Zombies that I can download. Maybe if I start to play I'll get over my fear of Zombies. 

Okay, I suck at killing Zombies!

Baby Eagle, I sure hope you win that contest. 

[quote]On Halloween, when it was believed that ghosts came back to the earthly world, people thought that they would encounter ghosts if they left their homes. To avoid being recognized by these ghosts, people would wear masks when they left their homes after dark so that the ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits. On Halloween, to keep ghosts away from their houses, people would place bowls of food outside their homes to appease the ghosts and prevent them from attempting to enter. [/quote]

As for being a christian - I don't need to wear a mask - my God will protect me. LOL But for non-christians - sure - they truly need to wear that mask!

Halloween History & Origin

Halloween is the one of the oldest holidays still celebrated today. It's one of the most popular holidays, second only to Christmas. While millions of people celebrate Halloween without knowing its origins and myths, the history and facts of Halloween make the holiday more fascinating.

Some people view Halloween as a time for fun, putting on costumes, trick-or-treating, and having theme parties. Others view it as a time of superstitions, ghosts, goblins and evil spirits that should be avoided at all costs.

As the Christian debate goes on, celebrating Halloween is a preference that is not always viewed as participating in an evil holiday. Halloween is often celebrated with no reference to pagan rituals or the occult.

Halloween History

Halloween is on October 31st, the last day of the Celtic calendar. It was originally a pagan holiday, honoring the dead. Halloween was referred to as All Hallows Eve and dates back to over 2000 years ago.

All Hallows Eve is the evening before All Saints Day, which was created by Christians to convert pagans, and is celebrated on November 1st. The Catholic church honored saints on this designated day.

Origin of Halloween

While there are many versions of the origins and old customs of Halloween, some remain consistent by all accounts. Different cultures view Halloween somewhat differently but traditional Halloween practices remain the same.

Halloween culture can be traced back to the Druids, a Celtic culture in Ireland, Britain and Northern Europe. Roots lay in the feast of Samhain, which was annually on October 31st to honor the dead.

Samhain signifies "summers end" or November. Samhain was a harvest festival with huge sacred bonfires, marking the end of the Celtic year and beginning of a new one. Many of the practices involved in this celebration were fed on superstition.

The Celts believed the souls of the dead roamed the streets and villages at night. Since not all spirits were thought to be friendly, gifts and treats were left out to pacify the evil and ensure next years crops would be plentiful. This custom evolved into trick-or-treating.

Oh......for Petes sake lighten up you two (Gouda and Shtal)!!!

As for me, I'm having a Paella Party on the Pre-Halloween weekend (everybody is assigned an ingredient to bring) with games and a costume contest .

We live in the country and never get any trick or treaters and I love to decorate for the seasonal holidays.

Bee.....where did you get the cat eyes??

 

clc29,

This quote from the webside that I gave above, Halloween is a preference that is not always viewed as participating in an evil holiday.

I believe opposite of the quote above - it has hidden evil in this holiday - some people don't know about meaning of Halloween - they just like to have fun!!
