Halloween?Party time!

For me november is usually month of reflections. Long  evenings by the fire place or autumn walks are opportunities to think about life.

However weird it could sounds I also really like All Saints Day. The whole atmosphere is rather moving than sceary and it always puts me into a contemplation about my life and  time passing by..This year I visited cemetery after dark  which was a special experience because only then I could admire beautiful candle lights and I felt the uniqueness of this night.

I ’m not very much into  helloween celebrations. I’ll say taht I have a neutral attitude. Over last years I observed  high  increase  of halloween’s popularity in Poland. We’re making halloween  parties  on which everyone has to be dressed up as a ghost or witch or zombie or whatever.Some people are really crazy about it. This year I was on my friend’s birthday party wchich was organized with halloween theme. My friend was waring a dress with a skeleton and her face was covered with faked wounds and scars but they were incredibly realistic! Other guests  also had very sophisticated outfits .In such company I came out rather poor with my black cat earrings as the only halloween motive ;).Halloween also  became very popular with children. The biggest atracion for them is of course well-known play called trick or treat.

I think that all enthusiasm arround halloween is just taking an opportunity to have fun and there’s no connection to 2000 years of history of Celtic rites;)
