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.
