Halloween Celebration
During the Samhain festival, the souls of those who had died were believed to return to visit their homes, and those who had died during the year were believed to journey to the other world. People set bonfires on hilltops for relighting their hearth fires for the winter and to frighten away evil spirits, and they sometimes wore masks and other disguises to avoid being recognized by the ghosts thought to be present. Hundreds of years ago, people dressed up as saints, witches, hobgoblins, fairies, and demons came to be associated with the day. The corporate office was all decorated with Halloween and fall themes, also the staff was all dressed up.
