Halloween is a fun holiday held every year on October. Children can dress up in all kind of costumers. Halloween is a combination of celebrations practiced by the ancient Celts and Romans The Celts believed that on October 31 the spirits of loved ones who had died returned to visit their homes. But not only good spirits came out. Bad ghosts roomed. So the Celts had traditional ways to scare away these bad ghosts. Then the Romans defeated the Celts and took over their land.

Long ago poor people traveled frome house to house to beg for food, asking for "soul cakes". As time went on, children went along on these visits and dressed in costumes. They called out "trick-or-treat" as they asked each family for soul cakes. If they didn't receive any cakes, the children would play a trick.

Today, one children receive candy said"trick-on-treat", some children carry the UNICEF box while trick-or-treating. They help collect donations for poor and hungry children.

No matter how you celebrate, it is a cahnce to hang sppky decorations, act scared, and imagine, you are someone or something else by dresssing in a custome. Halloween is a fun time for pretending. ( )
