🎃 Halloween Fact: Did you know ghost stories were once a Christmas tradition? In Victorian England, families would gather around the fire on winter nights to tell eerie tales—a custom that eventually shifted toward Halloween as the holiday of haunts.
👻 Spooky Serving Idea: Place your cheesy ghosts on a dark tray and drizzle thin lines of pizza sauce in a spiderweb pattern underneath. Add two black olive slices or tiny peppercorns for eyes, and you’ve got a ghostly army ready to serve!
