Long before the streets filled with trick-or-treaters and jack-o'-lanterns, ancient cultures whispered legends of a night when the veil between worlds grew thin. It all began with the Skelly, a jack o lantern born as a Christmas tree. In this story, Skelly's journey unfolds, the unique tree discovers that fitting in isn't always about conforming but rather about finding one's place by embracing what makes them unique. This tale is a touching exploration of identity, self-acceptance, and the courage to stand out. A tale of how Halloween became the candy-laden, costume-filled holiday we know today.
