Halloween
Halloween is a celebration held on October 31. Halloween began in regions of Europe and Celts celebrated it. The Celts believed that the spirits of the dead visited them on this night. The traditions and importance of the celebration varied significantly between countries. In parts of Central and South America, kids visited to their neighbors yelling "Dulce o Truco!" ('Sweet or Trick!') in order to get candies, while in Brazil kids yell "Gostosuras ou travessuras!" (in Brazil, Halloween is not commonly practiced, but some schools throw Halloween-themed parties) and the Portuguese name is Dia das Bruxas. In Chile, Halloween has become more and more popular over the last 20 years, imitating North American customs such as children dressing up, going house to house asking for candy, yelling "Dulce o travesura!", whereas teenagers and adults go to costume parties at discothques. The Spanish name for Halloween is Noche de Brujas (Night of the Witches).
