Cheesy Costumes: And The Trend Goes On by Tuleful Apple Lips

Few weeks ago, I attended my niece's school program. It was their school's 10th Foundation day. The event's theme was sort of a 'wonderland'. The children were all dressed up in their own fascinating, sometimes odd costumes and they look very happy. Looking at them, I cannot keep away from thinking. I remember those times of my childhood where I happen to wear a "red flower" costume, combined with the accessories along side of it I somewhat look ridiculous. I can't remember what exact event that was, but I'm sure that I wore the silly costume.

Today, costumes and dressing up are vital parts of festivities. Wearing of costumes can be track down to ancient Babylon, in the time of pharaohs and Kings. In the 21st century, costumes became popular in holidays, especially during Holloween. Halloween has its roots and origins in Ireland and it is widely considered that it dates back to a Celtic tradition of Samhain Eve when it was believed that the links between the living world and that of the dead were at their strongest. The name Halloween comes from the eve of All Hallows' which was what All Saint's Day was called during medieval times.

Children gear up in their selected costumes for their much awaited trick-or treat, and amazingly sometimes they were accompanied by adults. This merely shows that dressing up is not just for children. It was a fact that in today's market more sales are registered on adult costumes than on the traditional children's sector. Another quick soaring trend today is dressing up your pets. Since pets often become family members it's obvious that pets would do costumes for Halloween as well. It is fun to see that pets dressed up as people pretending to be super heroes or as Dracula.

In the end, it really shows that wearing a costume is part of our existence. Sooner or later you will have to wear one. It doesn't matter how stupid or silly you look what matters is the fun and enjoyment that you feel inside it.
