As you may know, Halloween originated in Ireland! Celtic Thunder has the day off! Anyway, the CTGs would love to know how you all celebrate Halloween!!
"On Halloween night in present-day Ireland, adults and children dress up as creatures from the underworld (e.g., ghosts, ghouls, zombies, witches and goblins), light bonfires, and enjoy spectacular fireworks displays – in particular, the city of Derry is home to the largest organized Halloween celebration on the island, in the form of a street carnival and fireworks display." (wikipedia.org)
See that, folks? Derry. That's where Keith and Damian are from (:
If anyone has any pics of cool celtic pumpkins they carved, or anything celtic and Halloween related, send them to celtic.thunder.girls@gmail.com! Don't forget to say whether you want them posted here or not!
Fun stories are also welcome!
