Interested in some fun facts about Halloween? Taken from the randomhistory.com website, here's some things I found interesting and thought I would pass along.
The first jack o' lantern was made from a turnip!
After Christmas, Halloween is the second highest grossing commercial holiday.
50% of kids prefer to get chocolate on Halloween compared to 24% who prefer non-chocolate and 10% who prefer gum.
The biggest pumpkin ever measured was grown by Norm Craven, who broke the world record in 1993 with a 836 lb. pumpkin!
Trick-or-treating evolved from the ancient Celtic tradition of putting out treats and food to placate spirits who roamed the streets at Samhain, a sacred festival that marked the end of the Celtic calendar year.
The black and orange associated with Halloween? The orange is symbolic of harvest and autumn, the black signifies death and darkness, a reminder that Halloween once was a festival that marked the boundaries between life and death.
Ireland is believed to be the birthplace of Halloween.
Halloween originated in 4000 BC which means it's been around for over 6,000 years!
Do you plan to dress up this Halloween? Perhaps you are going to or hosting a Halloween party? Staying at home and giving out treats to the little tricksters who come to your door dressed as little witches, Bob the Builder, a ninja or TMNT? Perhaps you are just planning a quiet night at home with just a candle and a glass of wine. Whatever Halloween means to you and however you plan to spend it, I hope it will be enjoyable for you!

A great selection of Halloween goodies. Funny you mentioning turnips.....back when I was a kid that's STILL what we used for our Jack o'lanterns because pumpkins really weren't available in the UK at that time (the seventies, lol). I do really pity my mum and dad having to do all of that scooping out and carving on something as tough as a turnip!!
I love them all! The witches, the mummy's, the spiders on their webs, the Frankenstein's, most of all I LOVE the Baby's 1st Halloween onesies, they would make such and awesome keepsake of their first Halloween!
Fall is my favorite! Great fun facts and products for Halloween!
Autumn is a fun time. You've got a lot of cute designs here for Halloween.

I really like all of these designs. Halloween costumes have really changed since I was a kid.
