Halloween :)'

History:


The event Halloween comes from and Old Celtic celebration shortened from All Hallows Eve which is the translation for All saints day. All saints day is a period of time for the Dead spirits to walk the earth. The reason why people started to dress up was to protect themselves from the bad spirits and prevent demons from identifying the people as humans. Tick or Treating represents how the Celtics used to visit peoples homes disguised to claim a new soul.
While today it is a happy day for children to dress up from fairies to witches and visit peoples houses and get lollies in return :)


How is it celebrated:


All over the world people decorate there homes with carved pumpkins, spider webs , a scary things.
People dress up and go tick or treating and give out lollies. Watch scary movies and stay up to late hours of the night :)


The only thing we do if we celebrate it is go trick or treating.


Rules:
One rule i would have is don't let your children go trick or treating by themselves.
Watch the road
Don't stay out to late :)


Who Celebrates it ?
Everyone all over the world . I would say the only people that don't celebrate it are people who don't believe in it.




Explanation:


Halloween is a event that happens every year on the same day 31st of October. The name Halloween is a shortened name for Hallows Eve meaning All Saints day. A day when the dead or spirits can walk the earth for a amount of time. To this day it is celebrated by kids dressing up and visiting neighbouring houses saying the famous words " trick or treat" and they receive lollies in return for their effort of dressing up.
