You can be anyone you want to be on Halloween!
"The tradition of children wearing Halloween costumes originated from when the Celts lit bonfires and dressed up during ceremonies celebrating Samhain. Decked out in animal heads and full animal skin costumes, they proceeded to read each other's fortunes and tell stories.
"The costume tradition made it's way to America and took on another form. On Halloween, it was believed that the spirits and ghosts of the dead came back to roam the earth. People then wore masks and "dressed up" in an outfit to look like one of the spirits to avoid being recognized as one of the living."
Every year I dress up in something new (except when I was a toddler and I had a "Princess Bride" obsession every year). I've been a Princess, a Bride, a Fairy, an Angel, a Butterfly, a Cowgirl, a Lamb, a Power Ranger, a Phantasm, a Milkmaid, a Pirate, a Ninja, an Elf, a Carrot, a Wandering Wizard, and even a Bathroom!
Take the day to be creative with your look. And if you're out of ideas, it's okay! Any costume provider will be happy to help you put together a new persona. Costumes come in children's, teen's, and adult sizes.
