How We Got Here

 Here being how Halloween is celebrated, it basically started with immigrants from the British Isles bringing their Halloween customs and postcards to the US in the early 20th century. Last month I posted about postcards being the original memes and that was especially true of Halloween. An estimated 900 million postcards were mailed in the first couple of decades of the 20th century and many of those were Halloween postcards, an estimated 3,000 different designs were created in that era alone. The following are examples.
