I love knowing the history behind something … the whys, the hows, the whos and more. To me, it’s more fun to celebration a tradition when you know how it came to be in the first place. To be quite honest, even though Halloween is one of my favorite holidays (oh, who am I kidding? I love them all!), I know very little about the history behind it all.
Enter the History Channel. When I think of the History Channel, I think of my dad. He’s a history buff, especially when it comes to the Civil War. But me? I don’t tend to hang out with the History Channel too much. Food Network? Definitely. Bravo Network? For sure. History Channel? Not so much. I may need to rethink that.
If you want to know more about the hows, the whos and the whys of Halloween, drop by their site. You’ll find tons of great information, including how the holiday is celebrated worldwide, the history of Halloween costumes, the story of Jack O’ Lantern and much more. Did you know that the holiday is over 2000 years old? No? Sounds like we both need to spend more time getting to know the History Channel. See you there!
