The meaning behind Halloween
has changed greatly within the last
year for him. In a way, Halloween
has come full-circle because he is
back to trick-or-treating once
more, just like in his youth. It has
taken in a whole new meaning.
“Last year I dressed up and
wore a costume, because then
Halloween was about partying
more than anything else,” said student
Ben Petosa, 31. “Since then
I’ve had a child though, and this
year will be all about him. This
will be my baby’s first Halloween,
and he is dressing up as a lion.”
As for Andrew Lavado, he has
a different reason for his love of
Halloween. This is because he
will be turning 24 on this day.
“I’ve always thrown huge birthday/
Halloween parties, because
it’s a double celebration,” Lavado
said. “This year I’m not sure what
I’m dressing up as yet, but my
friends and I are taking a huge
party bus down to Philadelphia,
and I know one thing, I will be
dancing.”
Halloween may occur on the
same day year after year, but as
people grow older the meaning
behind the holiday changes.
Bucks students vary in age from
18 to 80 or more, so it is not surprising
that they celebrate Halloween
in many different ways.
For student, Billy Zogorski, 21,
Halloween is just another excuse
for a good laugh and a chance to
party with friends.
“This Halloween I’m going to
Temple and my friend is having a
party,” Zogorski said. “I’m being a Dutch Master,” referring to the men that appear on the cigar brand.
Living in Bucks County there are many ways to celebrate the holiday both on Halloween
and beforehand,such as haunted hayrides at nearby places.
No matter what the Halloween activity there are many options to choose from.
