#Halloween Costumes for Adult Couples #BBNshops

Here is what Wikipedia offers regarding Costumes and Halloween:

“Halloween costumes are traditionally modeled after supernatural figures such as vampires, monsters, ghosts, skeletons, witches, and devils. Over time, in the United States the costume selection extended to include popular characters from fiction, celebrities, and generic archetypes such as ninjas and princesses.[71]

Dressing up in costumes and going “guising” was prevalent in Ireland and Scotland at Halloween by the late 19th century.[106] Costuming became popular for Halloween parties in the US in the early 20th century, as often for adults as for children. The first mass-produced Halloween costumes appeared in stores in the 1930s when trick-or-treating was becoming popular in the United States.

Rev. Dr. Eddie J. Smith, in his book Halloween, Hallowed Be Thy Name, offers a religious perspective to the wearing of costumes on All Hallows’ Eve, suggesting that by dressing up as creatures “who at one time caused us to fear and tremble”, people are able to poke fun at Satan “whose kingdom has been plundered by our Saviour.” Images of skeletons and the dead are traditional decorations used as memento mori.[139][140]”

All that being said: Are you ready for Halloween? Yes. You. Not the kids. You.

Your check list might include:

• Treats for the kids
• Treats for the adults (you)
• Decorations for the house
• Camera for all those greats photo ops
• Costume for yourself

Costume for yourself? Have you thought about what you are going to wear when those trick or treaters come knocking at your door? When you hand out the treats will your costume help set the scene?

If you do not have a costume ready, then pay attention. I have some great costume ideas for you. Who says only kids should dress up and have fun on Halloween?
