Halloween Is a Holiday for Children

Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means “holy
evening,” and it comes every October 31, the evening before All-Saints Day. However, it’s not really
church holiday; it’s a holiday for children.

Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins.
Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put lights inside. It looks like there is a person looking out of
the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o’-lantern, which means “Jack of the lantern.”

The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some
children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house.
Every time they come to house, they say, “trick or treat! Money or eat!” the adults put a treat-money
or candy- in their bags.

Some children think of other people on Halloween. They carry boxes for UNICEF (The united
Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund). They ask for money to help poor children all
around the world. Of course, every time they help UNICEF, they usually receive a treat for themselves
too.
