Before the costumes, candy, and carved pumpkins — there was something deeper. 🎃
In this special episode of The Christmas Connection, host Dawn Mac takes you on a fascinating journey through the origins of Halloween — from ancient Celtic traditions and bonfires under the autumn sky to the first carved turnips and the birth of the modern jack-o’-lantern.
Discover how history, folklore, and faith intertwined to create the celebration we know and love today — and how Halloween’s spirit of imagination, remembrance, and community connects beautifully to the season of Christmas.
So grab your cider, settle in by the glow of a candle or pumpkin, and enjoy a little storytelling magic… where the past meets the present — and the holidays begin to whisper their way into our hearts. ✨
