Since Halloween is fast upon us and it is my favorite holiday (yes I love Christmas too but for very different reasons none of which involve presents except maybe the giving of them), here are some fun Halloween facts for you!
Halloween was brought to America by European immigrants.
Tootsie Rolls were the first wrapped penny candy.
Every year we spend about $2 million on Halloween candy!
Halloween is second only to Christmas in terms of retail sales.
In 1962, the Count Dracula Society was formed.
Gargoyles are believed to ward off evil spirits and guard the home.
Halloween falls on October 31st which is the end of the Celtic year. Halloween is rooted in Celtic lore. It is called All Hallows Eve and is over 2,000 years old.
Hope you enjoyed fun facts on Friday! Happy Halloween y'all.
