Happy Halloween!


Origin of name

The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day. Up through the early 20th century, the spelling "Hallowe'en" was frequently used, eliding the "v" and shortening the word.

  2. I may not be in Revere but we had a Halloween party at our gym this morning that included breakfast at Cracker Barrel. Some of the costumes were really a hit. Also all the baked treats were good.
