Originally named as “All-Hallows-Eve”, Halloween started around
2000 years ago in the area which is now Ireland. Celts (people from ancient
Roman times) celebrate this day because it’s the end of summer with the dark cold
winter soon to come. Celts believed that on the night before November 1 ghosts
of the dead returned to earth.
Trick or treat is a customary practice for children on
Halloween in many countries. Parents and Children go to great measures to bring
the spirit of Halloween into their homes by decorating their houses with cotton
spider webs, devil sticks, skeletons costumes, helping to make their house
appear hunted, others just have a pumpkin basket filled with sweet candy
treats.
Did you know? One
quarter of the all the candy sold annually in the U.S is purchased for
Halloween
