Halloween is a tradition celebrated on the night of October 31, most notably by children dressing in costumes and going door-to-door collecting sweets, fruit and other treats. Apart from this treak or treat, there are many other traditional Halloween activities. Some of these include costume parties, watching horror films, going to "haunted houses".
Halloween originated under a different name as a Pagan festival of Ireland, celts and Great Britain with Irish, Scots, Welsh and other immigrants transporting versions of the tradition.
Halloween is celebrated in most parts of the world most commonly in the United States, Canada, UK, Ireland and with popularity in Australia and New Zeland. In recent years, Halloween has also been celebrated in parts of Europe, like Belgium, France and Spain. The term Halloween, and its older spelling Hallowe'en, is shortened from All hallow's eve, as it is the evening of/before "All Hallows'Day
" (also known as "All Saint's Day").
A jack-o’-lantern is the Halloween pumpkin. I always make one in Halloween because is fun and spooky!!
