10: HALLOWEEN
Halloween, the time of pumpkins, candies,
ghosts, witches and much more, is annually
celebrated on 31 October. That’s the night before
All Saints Day. Its origins date back thousands of
years to the Celtic festival of Samhaim or The
Feast of the Sun, most significant holiday of the
Celtic year. This day marked the end of summer
but also the season of darkness as well as the
beginning of the New Year on 1 November.
Children love the custom of dressing-up in
fancy costumes and going from door-to-door
yelling ‘Trick-or-Treat?’ . Adults instead join
spooky parties which are nearly held all over the
cities on that special evening. A spooky
decoration, games and themed food are nuts and
bolts for a Halloween party your friends won’t
soon forget.
