HALLOWEEN
Halloween is a celebration that happens on the 31st of October. It originally came from a Christian
religious day. The 1st of November is All Saints Day, so Halloween is the eve or night before this.
Nowadays it is mainly just an excuse for people to have fun.
espalhar
The holiday was mainly celebrated in America and from there has spread to many other countries.
It is meant to be the day, and mainly the night, when monsters come out of hiding. This means
that people associate scary and frightening things with Halloween.
assustador
There are three main traditions linked to Halloween. The first is carving pumpkins, the second is
decorating your house and the third is trick-or-treating.
maduro
Pumpkins are big vegetables that go an orange color when they are ripe and ready to eat. When
someone carves a pumpkin they cut the top off it and scoop out all the seeds and flesh from the
inside. Then the pumpkins would be used to decorate your house. You would put them in a
window or on the front porch so people in the street can see them. However, the decorations
have become much better over the years. Now people try to make their houses look as if they are
a haunted house by making skeletons to hang in the garden or putting tombstones outside the
house. varanda

Finally, children will get dressed up in costumes and go out trick-or-treating. This is where they go
to people’s houses and ask for sweets or candy, their treat.
