It used to be that Halloween was considered to be a spiritual holiday.
Long ago in times past many people believed that the spirits of the deceased walked around the earth on that one particular day of the year.
In more modern times, however, most people see Halloween as a holiday kind of like 4th of July or Christmas, in that it is a time for parties and having fun.
And one of the most popular Halloween traditions is dressing up in costumes.
Doesn't much matter if you are a kid getting all decked out in one of the popular childrens Halloween costumes or a grownup who has decided that Halloween is going to be a time when you are going to wear an adult Halloween costume, its fun to get dressed up.
Much of the fun of getting dressed up in a Halloween outfit is that for a short while you get to pretend to be someone else.
This is a big part of the allure of Halloween in general.
Somehow it has been transformed from a time when people went to the graveyard to remember their relatives to a time when almost everyone gets dressed up in a costume.
The world has changed a bit in that regard and the truth is, the way Halloween is right now is a lot more fun than taking a trip to the graveyard.
Unless, of course, you have set up a fake set of tombstones in your front yard.
This incredible enough ahs become one of the favorite ways to decorate your house for the holiday.
You can buy tombstones made out of Styrofoam online at the Halloween websites or even download the instructions for making your own to set up in your front yard.
Interesting how things have turned around, it used to be that folks went out to the cemetery to visit their deceased family members, and now they set up the cemetery right in front of their homes.
