Rooted in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Welsh Calan Gaeaf, Halloween marks the shift from harvest to the darker half of the year. A time of bonfires, feasting, and a touch of magic, when stories of spirits were shared around the fire. Celebrate in the same spirit today with costumes, natural face paints, and wooden ghosts and vampires your little ones will love long after October 31st (though the chocolate may disappear much sooner!).
