I love Halloween;
even though it’s a ridiculous ritual of commercial costumes and candy. We dress
up in costumes and go door to door begging for candy and treats. Seems quiet
immature and that is exactly why I love it! On Halloween you can be any one or anything
you want to be. It’s festive and everyone gets in on the fun.
In all my classes
I’m playing Halloween songs. We’re all dancing and singing to the Monster Mash
and many more spooky songs. It makes everyone laugh and laughter and fun is
what keeps us all young.
The true meaning
of Halloween is a somewhat religious ritual where soul cakes are given to help
the departed souls so they can reach heaven. It’s a hallow eve dedicated to
bringing peace to the soulful world. It reminds us to live a healthy life and
to be truthful. Otherwise we risk are soul being doomed to residing somewhere
between heaven and hell.
The jack- o-
lantern is everywhere on Halloween. It’s the pumpkin carefully carved and lit
with a candle that symbolizes this hallow night. Here is a story about how the
jack- o- lantern came into existence. Believe it or not, the truth be told, living
a healthy life, telling the truth and having a good laugh will save you from
hell and may even open the gates to heaven.
On route home
after a night's drinking, Jack encounters the Devil and tricks him into climbing a tree. A
quick-thinking Jack etches the sign of the cross into the bark, thus trapping the Devil. Jack
strikes a bargain that Satan can never claim his soul. After a life of
sin, drink, and mendacity, Jack is refused entry to
heaven when he dies. Keeping his promise, the Devil refuses to let Jack into
hell and throws a live coal straight from the fires of hell at him.
It was a cold night, so Jack places the coal in a hollowed out turnip to stop
it from going out, since which time Jack and his lantern have been roaming
looking for a place to rest.[105]
What does Halloween and anti-aging have in common? Dress up
in a great costume and spend the day playing trick or treat. Make everyone
smile and laugh and you will feel the
joy of being young and playful ,and young and playful is just what we need to
keep the aging devil away and open our soul to the heaven of feeling young!
