Ghosts, Gourds, and the Glow of October

 


The tradition of decorating for Halloween started a very long time ago. Halloween decorating began as a way to ward off spirits during ancient Celtic festivals and evolved into a playful, spooky tradition in 20th-century America. By the early 20th century, there was a shift from Halloween being a solemn, spiritual observance to a community-centered celebration. Our neighborhoods in North Carolina have many who love decorating homes with jack-o’-lanterns, ghosts, skeletons, and witches.

The Mint Hill area is no exception.  Check out this short video
