Halloween Fun Facts and History:

1. Origin of Halloween: Did you know that Halloween traces its roots back over 2,000 years to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain? This Gaelic tradition marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, a time when the boundary between the living and the dead was believed to blur.
2. Jack-o’-Lanterns: The tradition of carving pumpkins into Jack-o’-Lanterns originated from an Irish folktale about Stingy Jack, a cunning trickster who tricked the Devil and was doomed to wander the earth with only a hollowed-out turnip to light his way.
3. Trick-or-Treating: The custom of trick-or-treating evolved from the medieval practice of “souling,” where poor people would go door-to-door on Hallowmas (November 1st), offering prayers for the dead in exchange for food.
4. Haunted Attractions: Halloween wouldn’t be complete without a visit to a haunted house or spooky attraction! From eerie corn mazes to spine-chilling ghost tours, there’s no shortage of thrills and chills to be had during the Halloween season.
5. Costume Traditions: Dressing up in costumes on Halloween dates back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, where people would don masks and disguises to ward off malevolent spirits. Today, Halloween costumes range from spooky to silly, with everything from witches and vampires to superheroes and movie characters.

Staying Safe and Warm:

1. Stay Visible: If you’re planning to go trick-or-treating or attend outdoor Halloween events, be sure to wear bright, reflective clothing or add reflective tape to your costume to stay visible to drivers.
2. Mind the Fire: When carving Jack-o’-Lanterns or decorating with candles, exercise caution to prevent fire hazards. Consider using battery-operated LED candles as a safer alternative.
3. Bundle Up: As the temperatures start to drop, don’t forget to dress warmly, especially if you’ll be spending time outdoors. Layer up with sweaters, jackets, and hats to stay cozy and comfortable.
4. Check Your HVAC: Before the spooky festivities begin, make sure your HVAC system is up to the task of keeping your home warm and inviting. If you notice any issues or need a tune-up, don’t hesitate to give Atlanta Air Authority a call – we’ll have your HVAC system running smoothly in no time!
