Holiday Trilogy Research Paper

The Holiday Trilogy is the brainchild of three talented housewives: Anne Gilbert, Camille McCabe, and Maria B. Morales. Camille (the inspiration for all our original projects) and Anne wrote the script and lyrics. Maria, an accomplished pianist, composed the music to the three songs that accompany the three individual books.
This multitalented trio have written, staged, and produced many children’s productions. From these productions, a bevy of talented and beautiful children emerged. This prompted Maria to become manager and owner of Sunshine Talent Reps. Inc., representing infants to teens for television, stage, and screen. Many of these children went on to fame and stardom.
An entire show, Hi, Mom, What’s New?, was written by Camille,
Hee, like most young animals, was curious and liked to visit new places and experience new things. Hee loved to travel and learn. Hee liked to ask questions and listen to people who would teach him.

One day Hee set off on a journey to see the faraway lands known as England and Ireland. This land is located in the northern part of Europe. It is found on two islands, the British Isles, in the North Atlantic Ocean. The land is green and fertile. There is a lot of rain there. It is a land with forests and hills. When Hee reached this beautiful land, he went in search of answers to his question: What is the story of Halloween?

Many, many years ago—twenty four hundred years ago to be exact—a group of people named the Celts invaded these islands. These people, like many ancient people, believed in honoring natural things, like the sun, animals, water, and trees. They believed that the sun made things develop and grow.

Hee laughed at that idea. He thought about bats and possums and how they like nighttime. They do not like to go out in the sun. They sleep during the day and go out at
This day, which is November 1, marks the end of summer and the beginning of the season of cold and dark. Samhain also marks the beginning of the new year. The animals are moved back home from their pastures and preparations are made for colder weather and less sunlight during the day time. People believed that in the new year the sun was taken prisoner by the Lord of Darkness.

On the eve of the festival of Samhain, the spirits of the dead were thought to revisit their earthly homes. These spirits took the form of animals. A black cat was a symbol of the most evil spirit. Ghosts, witches, and fairies were supposed to roam about the land and scare and chase the evil spirits away.

Hee was jumping and laughing. He understood the ideas from the Celts. Hee said that today for Halloween, children put on costumes and pretend to scare people. They like to shout, “Trick or treat!” and go to see their neighbors to get treats.

The Celtic people would build great bonfires out of the corn husks from the year’s harvest. They used this great fire to relight the fireplaces and stoves in their homes. This would create a connection between the old year and the new
