Halloween

I can’t believe it’s that time of the year again, all ready the summer hasn’t long gone and Halloween is all ready dawning on us. The decision on what Halloween costume to wear to this years Halloween party.

Let’s be honest everyone loves a good Halloween costume. With a little imagination, just about anyone can create Halloween costumes based on common phrases or punch lines. Here are a couple of ideas to get you started:

Deviled Egg: Dress in all white and paint or attach a yellow circle to your stomach. Then wear devil horns and carry a pitchfork.

Gold Digger: Put on a gold dress. Sprinkle gold glitter in your lip gloss. Paint your nails gold. Paint a toy shovel gold, and carry it with a bag of gold rocks.

Halloween Recipe

For cookie shapes, try bats, cats, witches, ghosts, jack-o-lanterns, pumpkins, leaves, moons, broomsticks, cauldrons, spiders, eyeballs, tombstones and any other spooky shape that you can come up with! You can usually purchase the cookie cutters in some of the listed shapes, and if autumn’s got you in a creative mood…create your own!

The Origin of Halloween

Halloween's roots can be traced back to Celtic culture in Ireland. According to their "Druid" religion, November 1st was New Years' on their calendar. The celebration would begin on October 31st, and last into the following day. The spirits of all who died in the prior year, would rise up and roam the earth on this night.This is an evil night when spirits roamed the streets and villages. Lord Samhain, the lord of Darkness, would arrive in search of the spirits to take them to the underworld.Halloween as it is currently celebrated with costumes, trick or treat, and superstitions, takes from this Druid Holiday.



Another Satisfied customer: STILL HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!..

And because we have done boththe Evan Evans & Golden Tours, we can unequivocally say that smaller tourshave so more advantages-more personalized, less "herding" of people, lessoverwhelming, etc.,We just got back from London, and once again had a great experience with oneof your full day tours.We did our first Astral Tour back in June 2003. It was the Culture VultureTour with Dave, and he's an absolute stitch of a character..He isenthusiastic & very personable. He took us to some wonderful back areas ofthe beautiful and pristine Cotswolds region, and we experienced for thefirst time how thoroughly enjoyable smaller tour groups were.

Our next tour was the Leeds/Dover/Canterbury Tour in June of 2004, and onceagain, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.Just this past weekend, we took our third full day tour, with the Bards &Battles Tour of Oxford/Stratford & Warwick Castle.Our 8 yr. old daughter thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Debbie's wonderful guide to,and stories of Oxford - esp. the tidbits about Harry Potter. She enjoyedthe attention she received from this vibrant lady. Please send her ourspecial thanks, and please let her know that the "magic conker" (chestnut)that she gave to our daughter made it to the U.S. We quite enjoyed Debbie'senthusiasm and knowledge. Our driver was Robert for the day, and while he was more reserved thanothers we had previously, we quite enjoyed his knowledge of history, and hispatient demeanor.

Thank you for the wonderful way you treat your customers, from the bookingprocess, up to when we are dropped off after the tour.We enjoy the people you employ to do the tours, and when we see enthusiasmfrom your guides, it makes the customers more interested and relaxed, andprovides for a greater enjoyment of the tour experience as a whole.

I'll be back next week.
