Happy Halloween! It’s that time of year again, when goblins and witches roam our streets in search of trick-or-treat candies. But, what exactly is Halloween? This week’s sites explore the origins of the holiday and how Halloween celebrations have changed over the years.<\/p>\nHalloween History \n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/images\/kid-sml-star3.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"***\"> \nThis two-page mini-site lacks illustrations, but has a spooky-looking design that suits its subject. This article covers the story of the Jack O’Lantern (“The term is not particularly common outside North America, although the practice of carving lanterns for Halloween is.”) and the history of Halloween costumes. “Costuming became popular for Halloween parties in America in the early 1900s, as often for adults as for children. The first mass-produced Halloween costumes appeared in stores in the 1930s when trick-or-treating was becoming popular in the United States.” <\/p>\nHalloween is Here: Halloween History \n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/images\/kid-sml-star5.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*****\"> \nHalloween is Here tells the story of Halloween, including why we bob for apples, wear masquerade masks, and why witches ride on broomsticks. “The witch is a central symbol of Halloween. The name comes from the Saxon wica, meaning wise one. When setting out for a Sabbath, witches rubbed a sacred ointment onto their skin. This gave them a feeling of flying, and if they had been fasting they felt even giddier.” Other sections of the site offer rancid recipes, ghost stories, costume ideas and safety tips. <\/p>\nHistory.com: Halloween \n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/images\/kid-sml-star5.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*****\"> \n“Straddling the line between fall and winter, plenty and paucity, life and death, Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. It is thought to have originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off roaming ghosts.” History.com presents Halloween with links to related topics such as History of the Jack O’Lantern and full-length video episodes about monsters, vampires, and Dr. Frankenstein. <\/p>\n … Click to continue <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/what_is_halloween.htm\">What is Halloween? <\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/p>\n #3.

Happy Halloween! It’s that time of year again, when goblins and witches roam our streets in search of trick-or-treat candies. But, what exactly is Halloween? This week’s sites explore the origins of the holiday and how Halloween celebrations have changed over the years.<\/p>\nHalloween History \n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/images\/kid-sml-star3.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"***\"> \nThis two-page mini-site lacks illustrations, but has a spooky-looking design that suits its subject. This article covers the story of the Jack O’Lantern (“The term is not particularly common outside North America, although the practice of carving lanterns for Halloween is.”) and the history of Halloween costumes. “Costuming became popular for Halloween parties in America in the early 1900s, as often for adults as for children. The first mass-produced Halloween costumes appeared in stores in the 1930s when trick-or-treating was becoming popular in the United States.” <\/p>\nHalloween is Here: Halloween History \n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/images\/kid-sml-star5.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*****\"> \nHalloween is Here tells the story of Halloween, including why we bob for apples, wear masquerade masks, and why witches ride on broomsticks. “The witch is a central symbol of Halloween. The name comes from the Saxon wica, meaning wise one. When setting out for a Sabbath, witches rubbed a sacred ointment onto their skin. This gave them a feeling of flying, and if they had been fasting they felt even giddier.” Other sections of the site offer rancid recipes, ghost stories, costume ideas and safety tips. <\/p>\nHistory.com: Halloween \n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/images\/kid-sml-star5.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*****\"> \n“Straddling the line between fall and winter, plenty and paucity, life and death, Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. It is thought to have originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off roaming ghosts.” History.com presents Halloween with links to related topics such as History of the Jack O’Lantern and full-length video episodes about monsters, vampires, and Dr. Frankenstein. <\/p>\n … Click to continue <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/what_is_halloween.htm\">What is Halloween? <\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/p>\n #3.
