On October 31st, many people celebrate Halloween.

Halloween is a
very popular holiday in many countries, including in the United States
and some European countries. Halloween is a holiday that has been
celebrated for hundreds of years. Originally, it came from Ireland.

These days, people celebrate Halloween in

different ways. Children (and many adults!) love to
dress up in costumes and have parties. Children like to
go around their neighborhood asking for candy. This
is called to “go trick-or-treating.”

Many people like to decorate their houses with

pumpkins and candles. Families often visit a
“pumpkin patch” (a farm that grows pumpkins) and
choose pumpkins for the family.

These are then carved (cut) to

make interesting faces. Then a candle is put inside and it is called a
“jack-o-lantern.” Other people like to watch spooky movies (scary
films) or read ghost stories. In school, children often have a party.

Remember, Halloween is always celebrated on October 31st.
